Re: ICM, because I don\'t have a degree in mathematics...
It's just pattern recognition. The more you analyze your tournaments w/ SNGPT, the more you understand the mechanics of ICM. You end up seeing the same patterns while you're playing.
I've been using it for almost a month now, and it's insane how fast my "ICM instinct" has improved. Analyze *all* your tourneys in the beginning, it'll make a huge difference, you'll see.

Re: ICM, because I don\'t have a degree in mathematics...
Well, I wish I could find the post...but I swear I saw one yesterday where someone was talking about doing the ICM calculations in their head. Could have been sarcasm that I missed entirely, or it could have been a real donk...or I suppose it could have been Dustin Hoffman.....
Thanks for the replies, though.

Everyone had said push, including me...you said it was slightly -$EV because of specifically how much money the short stack had (if Hero or SS had had a little more/less in chips it would have changed). I ran it and you were dead-on balls accurate. So yeah, I wanna practice. I am going over my hands with SnGPT's. Need to start posting the closer ones on here, as well. Thanks again for the replies.

Re: ICM, because I don\'t have a degree in mathematics...
Sorry, dead end.
In case anyone is curious about ICM programming - dethgrind's site has the javascript, C, C++, perl, and mathmatica. I have a version in PHP. Anyone having ICM in Lisp wins the uber-poker-nerd championship.
