Hi friends

what should i do here? situation is like this: there are like 55 players and the prize jump is 12$ (at 44 place), and the bounties are 42 for the BB AND 37 FOR the SB, IM 34 +/- in the chip count, and this guys are behind me (i cover them) ¿should i push wider because of the buinties, or shoould i OR/FOLD because of ICM implications?

ICM is irrelevant in this spot while we are in money's and far from final table. So plan is to play cEV. Bounties will definitely make wider shoving and raise-calling possible but I would think K5o to be too crappy. So personally I would either open fold or minraise-fold depending how tight they are.

But I don't usually play these and have not studied PSKO bounties.

It depends indeed of the players in the blinds how I would play this hand, but min/raise fold is still a decent option. If they are active with 3bet shoving a fold is better.

That sounds crazy. I would only do this with tight villains with a <10bb stack on the BTN.
