    Sitting 3rd of 3 & in bad shape (half of the chips of the player in 2nd) I think you've played it perfectly.

    Shove is completely fine/standard. His call with 22... not so much :#

    Yep, no error by us here. AJs easily good enough to shove. Not very clued up with satellites, but with us being shorty I imagine we're meant to shove most Ax hands here with our stack.

    2s should definitely fold IMO, always going to be flipping at best against our entire range and potentially dominated. Not the sort of spot you want to take in a satellite.

    Your play is fine. The calp from BB is really bad: they should only be calling 77+ and AJ+.

    As Bean says good play, bad call in a satellite. You actually got it in as a favourite. Can recommend reading up on satellite theory. Will change how you play satellites esp in the later stages.You could even fold here because when you're called, you're likely to be flipping at best and that's a bad spot to be in in a satellite however I prefer your play. @Bean81 What's the shoving range for ICM here given we're on the bubble?
