please tell me I could do this
Daily hyper turbo, 20/1200 left, I’m on BB with 10bb, average is like 15bb, guy shoved into me from SB for 9bb, I haven’t seen him play yet so no info, no time to click the HUD also. I know that some substantial part of the time I will only see one overcard from him shoving from SB but even so, after loosing every 3 outer at this stage in last one-two weeks, I decided to pre-ICM fold it and use my folding equity to piggyback to the FT, but I forgot it was a hyper and ppl were shoving en masse so I didn’t have enough occasions and blinded down to couple BBs and I called from BB with KTs and lost to a.. 3 outer, k9o. Guys I’m on the verge of losing my mind, thoughts appreciated

88 is a monster in that spot, you have to call. More so because of the hyper factors expanding shoving ranges like you said, but also I think you're misapplying ICM if you think it means avoid getting all-in at all costs. This is too much EV to give up, and the other factor of a hyper is how infrequently you get spots this good.
ICM does mean you don't want to get all-in for your stack or most of it in a close spot you might be happy to earlier in the tournament, but this won't knock you out if you call and lose, and a made pair is so strong against a shoving range, especially one as high as 88, where you are often against just one overcard, and sometimes hands you dominate.
I gave SB this shoving range, which a little over 50% of hands, not sure how accurate it is:
22+,A2s+,K2s+,Q4s+,J5s+,T6s+,96s+,86s+,75s+,65s,54s,A2o+,K2o+,Q7o+,J8o+,T9o,98o
and get 61.37% equity for you, which gives you a 22.74% edge in this scenario. That's too much to pass in a hyper and when you're short enough you might not realistically get another opportunity that good.

there's a girl in this world who's really confident that the universe gives you another chance so we may as well believe her if she's thaaat confident π
it's not punishment imo,
it's take a second, connect with a new, more right way to see these spots, rewire, and dive in again.
maybe walk on a mountain to detach from poker.
My regards to her ❤️ I chickened out cause I’d call this easily before but I went into 10s panic mode that I will bust out being so close to ft due to my recent experiences with when calling with pps, so it was more like a psychological mistake than a real hand review. Embarking on my journey now to a grocery store, hope that counts xD

I believe heβs shoving even wider here, making that spot juicy af. Iβve had some sleep and Iβm pretty much embarrassed

yeah had same experience. takes fresh mind and spirit that isnt cluttered by previous experiences (except one wants to accept the possibly negative impact consciously and play anyway),
and kind of an non-attachment to the outcome, like not desiring the ft too hard, so it's beneficial when one can view it as one of a thousand equal situations that will happen and then this single instance doesnt matter anymore at all but it's just about the hopefully reasonable fusion of all of them.
so kind of approaching it from the getgo as "now grind 1000 such situations" and bring the spiritual setup of mind, energy and all that is needed aligned to achieve that
so anything that makes you as relaxed as possible about it, best case just having a ton of wins and money already. ^^
Yes, having the same info I have, there are days when I do precisely what I want to do and days, when subconscious takes over. I only know which day it is after first couple hands played. This is the disadvantage of mtts, after you registered to couple tournaments you cannot sit out like in cash games. Regardless of having different days I managed to eliminate tilt factor and spewing afterwards. Now working on getting rid of the reverse of tilt, the lack of courage states, trying to put emotions aside, like in a grey rock approach
I'm pretty sure we've all made nit-folds in big spots, where we later regretted folding.
My thoughts:
Such is life in the tropics.
Don't be too hard on yourself.
Awful fold.
Yes I know I was on my period that day. Forget I posted it but feel free to keep it as a cautionary tale for others
