Preflop
I  think, this is an open jam all day. Even if BB is bad and "call to much", dont you think, he still want to cash? You have 4 times as many chips as either opponent, and in such a situation even people, who have no idea, what "ICM" means, tend to intuitively understand, that their main goal is to outlast the other short stacked player and make it in the money.

So I think, you have waaaay more fold equity, than you assume, and that jamming 22 is massively profitable. Also the worst, which can ever happen here, is, that you dubble him up, and then you still have the chip lead, and if you end up playing heads-up with him, you have a huge skill edge. So I think, you are unnessesarely complicating the game and making decisions for emotional rather than rational reasons, when you dont just fist-pump jam this hand into him for his 10 bigs.

That being said limping is also profitable, if he is passive and will check most of the time. Then the plan is to stab most flops. When he min-raise, its pretty awkward. You could still jam, but I think, his range for min-raising and then calling off is way stronger than his range for calling a open jam. As you say, you are also not deep enough to call and setmine. So even though it sucks, I think, I fold to this min-raise, and this is part of the reason, why I basically never limp, when the effective stack is this short.

Easy fold as played.
