It is certainly NOT a push.

There are plenty of tools to compute that (and you can also do it by hand, good exercise), see the FAQ.

You have one somewhat free calculator here :

Thanks for the fast reply.

I've tried out the program you mentioned and i really like
it(i've no experience with ICM just read HoH about inflection points).

I have folded this hand, but was eaten up by the blinds
a few hands later because i got no playable hand(it was a turbo).

Shouldn't the expected number of hands per level be
part of such ICM calculations?

The calculator take each hand independantly.
