a key to playing HU (and poker for that matter) are reads. You should have some at this point on villain.

This is also pure ICM.

I think all hands are fine, but the T2o is also a shove I think. When blinds are this huge HU it is pretty much open shove, shove shove...

Sorry, this is wrong.

We're dealing with pure cEV once we're headsup. ICM only applies when we have > 2 remaining.
