Question to djk, how do you use SNGPT for ICM calcs in the midstages of an MTT?

Re: Quick preflop range checkup in 100r
 

not ICM, just chip EV

All the ranges in this hand seem way too loose, IMO. For me it's like 99+ AQ+. He doesn't show up with much worse with 11x BB in this position.

If this is true, then my "good" read is waaaaaay off and he is terrible. Not shoving 22 in his spot is a travesty, and not shoving 72o is just as bad or worse if everyone behind is only calling 99+/AQ. (Maybe you didn't see there are relatively big antes?)

edited for clarity.

Way too tight with the antes IMO. If that is really our range and the rest of the table is remotely similar, he should almost certainly be shoving a ridiculous wide range.

upz didn't see there were 1/10 antes. Definitely would loosen up to 77+ AJs+ for sure.

Re: Quick preflop range checkup in 100r
 

It's worth mentioning that we should subtract about 1000 chips from our EV to compensate for when one of the blinds wakes up w/ AK/TT+. This adds about 2% to the 45% breakeven call figure. It may seem meaningless, but if we're gonna nitpick which hands make up the borderline, it's more correct.
