last 3 in MTT, ICM check with A9s
Hi all,
I got in this spot yesterday in the final 3 of a 5€ buy-in, 1K guarantee.
Can anybody chim in what the correct ICM play is here?
I was thinking shoving but the limp on the button of the chipleader was suspicious

The BB computations at the top are incorrect. Had the chip leader been limping the button before? Ordinarily, that is a reasonable play and should not be suspicious. As you are the short stack, there is not much ICM issues. It is a marginal spot. If you are worried the BTN is trapping, it is fine to fold.
