Default Re: ICM is often flawed

[ QUOTE ]

Yes the problem is that a lot of the time the numbers are not reasonable. If the blinds are huge and you have 200 chips and your opponent has 10.
You dont have a 20x greater share of the prize pool than your opponent, however this is what the ICM tells you.

Well, all I can say to that is "duh." I think it's clear that when you're talking about less than one blind, other considerations are more important than stack ratios.

If that's the main point of your objection, I think it's at best a footnote on a valuable technique.
