Default Re: How to play the bubble (or not to play the bubble)

I was running the numbers for specifically those two hands, 62 and AK (of those suits).

The AK equity I got with Pokerstove. The ICM number required to break even you do by creating an equation where x is that number and solving for x.

Let a be ICM equity of folding (as a decimal)
Let b be ICM equity of pushing and winning
Let c be ICM equity of pushing and losing

a = b(x) + c(1-x)

Solve that for x. In this example c is zero, which simplifies things to a = b(x).
