Is there an answer?
 

I have 6500, villian has 3500 blinds 200/400 we are of exact same skill level, what percentage will i win?

Re: Is there an answer?
 

you will, with the exact same skill, win the % of the time that is = the % of the chips you have. in fact, i don't think that the size of the blinds matters.

the only question i have along with this is whether who's blind it is matters.

65%?

In this spot I usually push the top 50% of hands from the SB, unless I have the BB pegged as weak, in which case I can push any two.

TPFAP, pg 104-105 covers it fairly well.

you do understand that that in no way answers his question, right?

The other option to posting this question was to ICM it.

I think you should ICM it anyway, just to get a feel for the ICM.

I think you mistunderstood. He meant what will be the % that each player will win the tourney from that point on.

Re: Is there an answer?
 

yeah i only understand the ICM based on what others have posted and what it says in those situations, ive never actually looked at it though.

to further explain: one of the assumptions of icm is equal skill of players.

it's a good thing to have some feel for, though you probably do kinda already. you should spend an hour playing with it, or at least buy eastbay's tool, and play with it for an hour or so.
