Default $16\'s, Chips running low, push/fold with equilibrium question...

Here's the hand:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

CO (t1955)
Button (t2150)
Hero (t945)
BB (t5110)
UTG (t2110)
MP (t1230)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 5, 4.
4 folds, Hero ?

Do I push or do I fold?

If I put the BB on a top 25% calling range, ICM says to push ATC..
However, if I push any two, ICM says he should call with top 60%
If he is calling with top 60%, ICM says I should push top 45%
If I push top 45%, he should call with top 25%...

Argh, is this a push or fold? BTW my read on the player is that he is an average player that is not overly aggressive but isn't too bad at playing the big stack.

Thanks!
Mark

I think the NE is close to:
You push 64%
BB calls 49%

I would not push here with such a poor hand. Villain simply has too many chips and his calling range might be extremely loose just to knock out the small stack. I think that you'd be better off waiting until he is the SB to push because he is less likely to call with junk with the BB still to act behind him.
