Hello
I'm trying to get familiar with the two programs, as I've (finally) realized that there is a huge difference between $EV and cEV (Chip EV - correct abbreviation?).

To figure out how to use it I used the following scenario:
Blind 200/400 (payout ,5/,3/,2)
SB 2000
BB 2000
UTG 2000
Hero 2000

Hero push with K9s, (Win% 39,832)
only BB calls all-ins and that with the following hands:
AA-22, AKs-A2s, AKo-A7o, KQs-K9s, KQo-KTo, QJos, QTs, JTs (Win% 60,168)

But then I have to correct for the actual chance of BB having a calling hand, right? What is the easiest way to do that with a range of hands?

But to get on with my calculations I assume (numbers totally made up), that BB calls 30% of the time.

So that woul dgive me an average chip count of 0,7*2600+0,3*0,39832*4200= 2322 chips correct? With an ICM of 0,2747.

Or should I calculate the ICM for each of the possible situations (BB fold stacks: 1800/1600/2000/2600, BB call/lose 1800/0/2000/4200, BB call/win Hero stack=0) which would be:
0,7*0,2941+0,3*0,39832*0,3902 = 0,252

Think I've been rambling a bit, so it boils down to, should calculate ICM based on average stack after play or a weighted ICM for the various scenarios?
And how do I asses the chance of BB having a calling hand? And what if several possible callers?

The method for doing all of this has been discussed many times and I'm not going to rehash it here.

Here's the answer according to the standard analysis, though:

You can probably deduce how each of the numbers is computed and how to arrange them for the final conclusion if you work through it.
