Blackboard: vandweller (#1) - Flying Blinds by vandweller

In this episode, vandweller suggests that many players are mis-using ICM tools such as SNG Wizard. Rejecting the time-wasting "passive" method of learning, he breaks down the push-fold decision into its component factors. He offers an active, rational way to evaluate these factors in real-time and introduces an original small-blind bubble shove chart.

Vandweller,

Have you ever attempted to adjust the tournament equity column in a way to make this applicable to MTTs, or in a way to adjust for the possibility of two callers (IE from the button?)

Thank you very much for this vid. I've seen it, translated it to dutch to get some better knowledge and, well, i'm excited to get into some bubble play. Now after waching a movie, i'll go over it again tomorrow and break some die hard sit'n go bubble's gaining tournament equity to get more 1st places instead of bubble losses.

ps. i send you a pm. Still hoping for a reply =)

like the guys said before, great vid obv

But I have a question regarding the calculation of EQUITY:
Take example number 5 (Q7o). The stacksizes after pushing and winning the hand are the following:
CO 7750
BU 2920
SB (Hero) 3160
BB 1470

which takes us from 4th to 2nd place, not barely to 3rd
(similar problem in the next hand: if we double, we're in 3rd place)

As noone of the other guys here got up to the same problem as I did in this hand, I'm not sure if you just "miscalculated" this one or if I got something wrong with the EQUITY-calculation.

Could it be that you do not consider the SB to your stack?

Very nice video thank you very much for that! But one thing I dont understand. Where do I get the call % from? Is it the VPIP?

no it's not. You'll have to guess it depending on his stats.

Just signed up and watched this video. Wow, what an eye opener. Thank you! I need a few more views to digest it all but you have a great way of explaining things and not talking down to the listener. Bravo!

I had a question on how you can modify this chart wtih regards to M-Zone. I use Tournament Indicator and as I'm sure you are well aware it gives you a lot of info at a glance that I think can be plugged into the chart with some modification. Would you be able to provide any insight into a conversion table for using Tournamen Indicator? Things such as:

EV and Sklansky group ranking for your hand strength
Your M-Zone # cmpared to others and how it relates to #BB and Equity

I don't know if they apply effectively but I thought I would ask.

Thank you for you amazaing video and chart. It's incredible!
