Default Re: Where ICM is lacking?

[ QUOTE ]
ICM doesn't lack. The only time ICM can even be refuted is in a situation where taking a slightly -EV call in order to have a bigger stack and abuse ICM more later on.

Skill in SNGs comes down to how well you know ICM. Don't fool yourself into thinking you can outsmart someone playing an unexploitable strategy.

It is unexploitable. SNGs are a mathematically solved game. They are very different from cash games in this respect.

You can make preflop raises that are all in if the blinds are not big, but once those blinds get up to where you have 10-15 BBs, you better be pushing and folding.

So your answer to my post is "its unexploitable because it is?"

The point I made in the "C.)" section explains why i disagree with what you just said. ICM, as I understand it, does not take into account future opportunities, it only calculates the one at hand. If it is truly exploitable, I would like to hear how. The whole point of the OP was to point out where I think it IS exploitable. If you can show me why im wrong id love to see it.
