the 2 folders here have been playing uber tight trying to move up the ladder. Raising small is out of the question as bb has been shoving over any raise so this is a shove or fold spot. What does hero do?

I think I'm shipping. If we pass up spots like this then we are just going to let him get a big chiplead.

Also a tough call for him as if he loses it puts him back down with the other two. He's basically probably going to pound on you if the other two are trying to avoid being 4th.

I'm willing to be persuaded to fold by someone who knows ICM better than I do.

SNG Wizard has it down as an any 2 card push even if villain is calling 26% of the time so A4s is a clear push regardless of villains calling range.
