Default Re: Thoughts on ICM

Just trying to get an order of magnitude view on this.

If someone (button or SB) steals the blinds you gain +0.2% or +0.3%
If there's an all-in confrontation, you gain +2.3% to +4.4% depending on who it is.

What would you estimate is the chance of an all-in confrontation (either pre or post flop)? If it's only 8% of the time, then you are already at the 0.5% "min edge." I would suspect the chance would be much closer to 30% which would give you a +1.2% bonus. That's quite significant!

Don't want to slam ICM, I'm just brainstorming here... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
