BB pretty much has to call with any 2, so unless he folds far too easily I think you're better off waiting. You have the button and a little breathing space.

I haven't checked ICM on this, but I don't think I push this.

It really depends on your oppnents calling range. If you think he is wiling to try and gamble to double up or if he believes that He can wait out someone else to bust and sneak into the money. Here I think I go ahead and fold away my SB b/c I think this shorty will call with any two reasonable cards and we OBV do not want that for half of our stack. I think the best play is to muck it here and shove the button. Now that the shorty has only 150 invested, which you folded to him, it is easier for him to laydown marginal hands. Also UTG is most likely to only call with the best of hands from the BB b/c you can chop away a large portion of his stack. In especially in a 6.50 the calling range of the shorty is too wide to shove here.

Simple ICM problem, but it's probably a push unless he's already calling ATC. Look it up, OP.
