Villain has pushed the past 3 hands, so I can safely assume im ahead preflop 99.9% of the time, but on the bubble should I be willing to take a flip against the only guy that has me covered?? Results in white font...

Do yourself a favor and get an ICM calculator.

Assuming that he is pushing what he is supposed to be (62%) then you can profitably call with JJ.  If you KNOW FOR CERTAIN that he is on any two, you can profitably call with tens.

ICM Nash Calculator Results

As simple as Mikeand's advice is here, it's good advice.

How to do this on your own...

Go here:

ICM Calculator: 3 places

Figure out your equity if:
 
A: you fold
B: you win
C: if you lose (obv $0 in this case)

Using this formula:

(A-C)/(B-C) is how often you must win the hand in order to make the call.

Using this tool:

ProPokerTools Hold'em Oracle

you can calculate what your calling range will be.

I knew it was ATC, but most of the time its a coin flip with 2 unpaired overcards. As long as Jennifear says its ok, then I like my play :)

am i wrong  in thinking that if you assume most of the time its a coin flip with 2 unpaired overcards, that his range isnt ATC?

id probably sigh then fold knowing i have the best hand here. (unless i was tilty, then id snap call) :(

I hate posts that start with "i hate posts like this".

wat im saying is that u posted this hand because the player showed up with KJ or something.  ur saying hes shoving any2 because he has shoved in the previous hands, but u havent see wat he has had, so therefore u dont no he is shoving any 2.  u r simply saying this to make urself jusify this call which u no based o ICM is a bad call given the 2 shortstacks present.

Also i love the "hes shoving any 2 but he shows up with 2 face cards most times" loool do u not no how little sense this makes??

 I fold this 98/100 times. I am not sure what the math is, but I fold knwoing if he is this aggro, there will be a better spot to pick him off, and I have a very good shot to make the money folding here.
