The ICM Trainer

[zayzoo]

Started testing around with the ICM Trainer a few days ago,
playing a sitngo 1 table and micro tables, i started recognizing the simulation patterns come into play when it got down to 4 players. Really did help improve my ranges for shoving, also really improved my play when i got chopped on the cash game. It helped save myself from rebuying and controlling the orbit when i needed to. Today's training I really got into playing the tables, I had to tell myself to take breaks. Still alot of leaks, and still too much time was put into overall, im happy with the results.

Could you explain what the ICM Trainer is? How it is used to enhance your game?

Another forum of a calculator, which all or most poker sites will ban your account, if caught using it, while logged in to their poker sites.

Um, why would they do that? I don't believe that an ICM calculator will tell you much more than the expected value of your stack vs. the prize pool. What am I missing here?

badboy- that was something I did not know...

i havent used it while i was playing, but just to only help my training on evaluating my decisions on pushing/folding ..

He said ICM Trainer not calculator tho they do have here a video to give you all a better understand there are many out there but I found give a better understanding... Call me old school but if you can not horn your poker skill enough to build a roll then in my book you ain't got no poker skills and your just having fun passing money to the center of the table for others to share...



In case anyone wants to check out the deference between trainer and calculator..

The calculator requires a payout structure (horizontally) and all player chipstacks (vertically). It can display either the percentage of the total prize (Prize Pool %) pool awarded to each person or the percentage that each player gets each place (Place %). When the first stack of zero chips is entered the calculator will stop reading further players. The same concept applies to the payout percentages.
