Im pretty clueless about ICM. I mean I know what it is and that it equates your chips to real money value, but Im not sure how to use it to make decisions..
Im figuring theres a good chance he has two pair when he shoves this turn so I figure I have 25%(1:3) equity on this pot for my FD and gutter draw. and I'm looking at paying 1:2 so cant quite justify the call by pot odds. but then I thought of it in the sense that knocking him out guarantees me 30% of the prize pool and puts me in a great position to take 50% of the prize pool. but if i loose i still take 20% of the prize pool...
is there a simple way to roughly estimate ICM and compare it to your equity to figure whether or not a call is justified?
9$ prize pool
pay structure is the standard 50%, 30%, 20%
