IMO, you will achieve the best results with both kinds of practice: away from the table systematic number crunching, and at the table from-the-gut application and practice.

I approached the icm and push ev calculations in similiar way. I did a ton of number crunching away from the table. This allowed me to get a general idea of the strength of hands in certain situations and against certain types of players. Now Im learning how to take that basic info and adapt it to game time situations. This is more difficult and experience and these boards is helping. I suggest that you crunch numbers for a few days if you havent done this already. I ran a SB and Button push ev spreadsheet for every hand against 3 different ranges of calling standards from 5bb-10bb. Was mind-numbingly boring but helpful.
