Re: ICM in HU tourneys: it doesn\'t apply, amirite?
[ QUOTE ]
I thought it did because even at the end of a STT both players are guaranteed x amount of money, and are playing for the same amount. In a husng both players are guaranteed x amount of money (nothing) and are playing for the same amount.
There have been some threads about this in the last few months, try giving it a search.

It does not apply .
If player A has x chips and player B has 3000-x chips , then player A's equity in terms of the prize pool is x/3000*0.5 . Player B's equity is (3000-x)/3000 or 1-x/3000 . Both combined add up to 1 ( or 100%) which is the total prize pool . This is one of the reasons why Sage only applies to heads up sng's since there is only one winner and one loser whereas in a 9 player sng , the final two contestant are battling for two itm positions .
