Not a bad play but I hate getting called by TT or JJ or QQ this early.

I'm ok with it. I'll know that I am a coinflip, and that I had at least some fold equity, which makes it a +EV play in the hand. And I can deal with making +EV plays all day.

I hate getting called by KK or AA though. Those donks just won't lay those hands down.

But is it really though?

Let's say that it is the 1st hand and you have AKo on the button. UTG pops it to T85 and gets one coldcaller. You move in, blinds fold, UTG calls and the coldcaller folds. What does ICM say about it when he turns up 77...

You win 45% (T1710) - 19.5% $EV
You lose 55% - 0% $EV

Net - 8.8% $EV

I'm not super thrilled about this situation.

Can ICM calculate fold equity?
