    I agree with Taylor that it is best to play this hand more passively postflop.

    In a real money tournament I think you should still defend your BB with this hand. When you are down to playing 3-ways you can not focus on IP hands as you are in the blinds 2/3 of the time.

    Stacks are too deep to use the PT4 ICM tool in this spot. That tool only calculates the icm adjusted value of going all-in as the first pre-flop action you do in a hand. It will therefore tell you to fold hands that can be played profitably in other ways.

    Regarding PT4 it is worth be aware that it assumes that any action that has happened before the action gets to you has not narrowed the ranges of those players. I.e. it assumes that any raise/limp is done with a 100% range. As this rarely is the case the tool will over estimate your fold equity when pushing over another player.
