55: Bubble with 3BB and A5o

[Van Strummer]

What do I do here? There is no small blind and according to SNGwiz a push is pretty bad (between -1.5% and -2.5%).
The other small stack is fairly good so I don't think he will donk out.

Is this a situation I should totally ignore SNGwiz and just do what feels right as playing A5 here probably is better than being forced in with a random hand next hand.

There is no Small Blind in this hand as the Big Blind of the previous hand left the table.

Hero (t1860)
CO (t2240)
Button (t12680)
BB (t3220)

Sngwiz says what it says according to the ranges you plug in. I don't se how realistic ranges makes this a -EV push. Button and BB will call tight.

Ahhh...this is where ICMs start to get flakey. This is read dependent. Id push.

easy push. ICM isnt perfect. you lose FE and most of your stack next hand which ICm doesnt realize.

If the big stack (suppose other two will prob fold) would know your cards, he can call you profitable with 15% hands and even then you have a change of 34% to win. So you have a fold equity of 16.12% and a push equity of 18.07%, this is an edge of almost 2%. So I am sure you have to review your calling ranges in SNGwiz.

I doubt you will have a better hand in the next 2 then you are almost gone.
Push.

all in

Push, CO and BB should call you tight, and Button is being squeezed in between the two. Looks like a perfect push with a wide range to me.
