Default Re: Theory: Hands where ICM doesn\'t work
Should the big stack be pushing ATC here? If BB calls 100% and big stack pushes 23o we have:
65% of the time: 3400/400/8500/1200
35% of the time: 3400/400/9700/0

If big stack folds 23o it will be:
3400/400/8900/800
but the next hand he can push ATC and worst case scenario is the 400 stack pushed first but the pot will still be sweetened by 600.
3000/400/9500/600

And here BB could push ATC again for
win: 2800/0/10100/600
lose: 3000/800/9100/600

It seems to me with a big stack, a medium stack, and two very small stacks the big stack shouldn't be pushing very weak holdings since folding keeps the bubble alive.
