Overall agree that it was informative and well written. However, I am troubled by the analysis of hand 23 in which the author has AKo. Shouldn't the other players have loose calling requirements since they are getting 2-1 on their money? Are people actually so tight with resteals at that level that KQo ought to be a fold?

Editted to add -- love the commentary on hand 55, i say this all time, well whenever its appropriate [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I don't have my ICM programs on this computer, but in tournaments pot odds don't tell the entire story. At 2-1 you would need to have 33% equity in the hand, which you usually will unless chip is a super nit.

But, by ICM you will need better than this. I'm not sure how much, but with the number of players it won't be huge. Somewhere between 35-40% I'd guess. So, you do need better equity here than in a cash game or MTT.
