Re: how to solve certain problems with the ICM (an algorithm)
Can the moderators give out best post of the week or something? Because this would *definitely* be it!
I too use the same links (for ICM) and pokercalculator -- I need to improve my play because I am having a very hard time figuring out if I'm really any good at all. Unfortunately pokercalculator only works once after setting it up so I have to install it over and over again (I'm a huge moron I guess), but I too have been unable to find anything better.
Obviously putting your opponent on a range of hands is important. Doesn't eastbay have (or use) a list of push hands for these sorts of calculations (or is this 'push' list something else entirely)?
I've been trying to figure out how big the difference between % of prize pool if folding and % of prize pool if calling needs to be to make it a clear cut decision. Also, since ICM assumes players of equal skill (please tell me if I'm wrong) then even given 100% accurate read of your opponent, don't you need the difference to be more than it is in the example to make the call correct? Is there a way to modify the ICM given that you are a X% ROI player?
Again, great post, you rule!!! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
