Default Re: FT Hand against Apestyles (is this -$ev)

one semi-related thing: am I the only person that thinks that someone who carefully studied ICM as it relates specifically to final tables of MTTs would have a huge edge on most people?

Having a good feel for how ICM relates to different situations can be very helpful in final tables, IMO, esp since so many players have little idea what they're doing, in any level of buy-in (no offence to OP, but this hand is a good exmample. And I assume he is a strong player otherwise). So it can be a real advantage. But I wouldn't say you need to be a curtains-like expert, it's probably a waste of time if you're not playing SNGs for a living.

Although in second thought ICM mistakes in big buy-in MTTs final tables, can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. So maybe it's worth it if you're planning to get there.
