ICM Calculator Update
Now allows you to specify the payout structure:
http://www.bol.ucla.edu/~sharnett/ICM/ICM.html
Please PM me with any bugs or issues.
Also, I'd like to point out that this is written in javascript. This means the code is embedded in the source of the web page; take a look at it (click "Source" in the View menu). This also means you can simply download the page to use the calculator; you don't have to go to my website. Of course, I prefer you go to my site so I can track the calculator's popularity.
Sometime in the near future I plan on posting a comparison of ICM predictions versus a couple different random walk simulations for several different stack size scenarios. I think this seriously should have been done a while ago to respond to the question: "How do you know this reasonably approximates tournament poker?" From what I remember, the numbers are very close for most scenarios.
