[converted_hand][hand_history]IPoker, $4.55 Buy-in (125,000/250,000 blinds, 32,000 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 6 Players

SB: 973,624 (3.9 bb)
Hero (BB): 2,756,960 (11 bb)
UTG: 1,174,337 (4.7 bb)
MP: 3,034,109 (12.1 bb)
CO: 6,907,938 (27.6 bb)
BTN: 1,473,032 (5.9 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6♣ A♣
UTG folds, MP raises to 500,000, 3 folds, Hero?

The tournament is from the Ipoker Kart series. 1st place i 950 EUR, 3rd place is 500 EUR and 6th is 175 EUR.

The guy is playing 39/38 80% Cbet over 50 hands. Saw him min raising QJs UTG the last orbit again with 12bb and a lot of short stacks.

I have no idea what is best here. I can call and play fit or fold, but he will bet the flop a lot. I think i can expect some folds if i shove, because of ICM and his wider range. Even folding doesn`t seem that bad vs this guy and ICM.

What range and how should i play here?

It looks like you was playing a hyper turbo MTT or something with those shallow stacks, but as 3rd in stacks you need to have a decent amount of fold equity to make a push with A6s profitable on long run. Also it’s weird he isn’t shoving for 12bb effective with so many short stacks behind him he should call all the time. Roadless with ICM in mind I would most likely only shove with 88+, ATs+, AJ+ and KQs here without knowing the paid outs of the 2nd, 4th and 5th place here.

I probably just fold due to icm considerations. You're only really happy if you hit twopair or a flush and chances are that you won't get any action when you do. Ahi or 6hi boards are nothing to become excited about and also a flushdraw can cost you alot of money at this point. Also you have double the amount of chips of places 4/5/6 so every move is very costly here. Play is cautiously (which basically means, let him bully you for now) and make a stand once icm isn't as big of a consideration anymore.

I'd agree that fold it the correct play, however I know that I'd call and get into a difficult spot, which I am trying to cut out of my game.
