Re: MATH: 45 extra chips to start 800-chip tourney adds >5% to ROI
well take away the skill advantage (make hero an average player) and it's still >4 added to your actual roi number
that's the math of what ICM is saying
the question is: do u think that in practical applications, icm is correct in giving you 1% of the prize pool (50 cents) for gaining 5% of your stack with even stacks? if u think icm is inaccurate, then that is one argument...but i haven't heard an argument why the math, assuming that icm is correct, is wrong
icm is just a model, and maybe it is overstating how important 45 chips are in a sng...it's 5% of your stack now, but when blinds are 15%+ of your stack in future levels at the bubble, does 5% of your stack really matter that much?
