I'm sorry, but I have removed your post. There are two reasons for this.
First off, it is simply an advertisement for your future books. While it is our policy to allow authors to answer questions...

Re: Derivation of Independent Chip Model (ICM)
Ultimately, the proper way to do tournament analysis is to take into account everyone's pushing and calling distributions as a function of stack size and to calculate explicitly the optimal moves to...

There is a simpler way to see that P(1st) =S/T.
If all players have equal skill level then your expected number of chips after "infinitely" many hands = S (ie your chip count should...

Re: Derivation of Independent Chip Model (ICM)
There is clearly a lot of think about on the software front. I know a non-commital stance is sometimes seen as the easy way out, but I'm taking one here.
I lean towards saying that such a...

As a blanket response to the posts I've seen so far, the point of this post was to provide justification for a mathematical model that most players blindly use without knowing why its actually true....

Re: Existence of -cEV yet +Equity Plays?
Collin,
I hope I'm not misinterpreting your notation, but I don't think I can high five your QED because it looks like, to me, you're cranking expected stack sizes in. When using ICM, we can't...

Re: 100NL Basic AK hand (poker 101)
Novles,
Fair enough yourself. We start at opposite ends of the spectrum with our base assumptions about typical players (you assume light and I assume tight). We could probably start a whole...

Re: 100NL Basic AK hand (poker 101)
Calling as opposed to 4-betting is not being "results oriented." It's about adopting the line of play that leads to the highest overall EV. Just because someone reraises you, it does not mean that...

Re: 100NL Basic AK hand (poker 101)
I don't like 4-betting more and shoving the flop. If your opponent calls your larger 4-bet, you are behind in the hand (your opponent is on something like [AA,99]||[AK]...I think AK is doubtful). And...

I put the villain on a straight or a boat (probably a boat). This play is really common, and in lower stakes games, it can be quite profitable against opponents who haven't seen it before. When the...

With the two short stacks, the only action past the flop is if the MP player is involved. The one line of play I didn't cover is if MP calls instead of raises. If MP just calls, and no draws hit, I...

Re: 100NL Basic AK hand (poker 101)
How much do you know about the BB? Has he done much reraising at all? If he hasn't been reraising and he suddenly comes out with a min reraise, he has AA or KK. Add the fact that you are OOP for...
