ICM Rules of Thumb?

Anyone got any good rules of thumb for ICM situations / a mental checklist? I know +cEV shove/fold well but don't have ICM tuition and it frequently gets me into trouble.

Example bustout hand from $22 mini supersonic below approx 630/1250, top 630 or so paid:

Table '2962248053 175' 6-max Seat #4 is the button
Seat 1: AceSweaty (23280 in chips)
Seat 2: rmpkrbr (20672 in chips)
Seat 3: sultanhenkie (70618 in chips)
Seat 4: Schmutzig (54096 in chips)
Seat 5: jdog199 (15402 in chips)
Seat 6: stannie1997 (25840 in chips)
AceSweaty: posts the ante 400
rmpkrbr: posts the ante 400
sultanhenkie: posts the ante 400
Schmutzig: posts the ante 400
jdog199: posts the ante 400
stannie1997: posts the ante 400
jdog199: posts small blind 800
stannie1997: posts big blind 1600
