i didnt read through your post closely, but if a spot is marginally +EV it does not mean you should automatically take it. concepts such as preserving FE and manipulating their calling ranges as well as stack sizes are important implications on deciding when to pass up a push so you can beat up even more on people later. Players' calling ranges also change rapidly when the blinds get higher and they even consider a player to be pushing tighter/looser depending...all of these are important factors in both working with ICM based programs to improve play and decide when to take a thin edge and when to pass.
