Video Description

Many SNG players claim to "understand" ICM, but, as vandweller explains, it is one thing to know how to approximate the moves that ICM demands of us and quite another to really understand how the different mathematical factors relate to each other to generate the specific numbers that actually underlie our push/fold/call decisions. In this video, vandweller starts with a blank spreadsheet page and, right before your eyes, generates a working (though ugly) ICM calculator. This is the math that is fundamental to all SNG theory and every serious SNG student owes it to himself to see it worked out at least once.

Video Description

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.
