What are the most important stack distributions to understand for final table ICM
For instance with 4 players left - lets assume we can have any combination of very short (5BB), short (15BB) medium (25BB) and big (45BB).
If we take all combinations with replacement, then group by number of unique stack sizes, we get the following. However it is unclear which ones are most important. I'll put a * next to the ones I think might be important.
1:
(5, 5, 5, 5), *
(15, 15, 15, 15),
(25, 25, 25, 25),
(45, 45, 45, 45)
2:
(5, 5, 5, 15),
(5, 5, 5, 25), *
(5, 5, 5, 45),
(5, 5, 15, 15), *
(5, 5, 25, 25),
(5, 5, 45, 45),
(5, 15, 15, 15), *
(5, 25, 25, 25),
(5, 45, 45, 45),
(15, 15, 15, 25),
(15, 15, 15, 45),
(15, 15, 25, 25),
(15, 15, 45, 45),
(15, 25, 25, 25),
(15, 45, 45, 45),
(25, 25, 25, 45),
(25, 25, 45, 45),
(25, 45, 45, 45)],
3:
(5, 5, 15, 25), *
(5, 5, 15, 45),
(5, 5, 25, 45),
(5, 15, 15, 25), *
(5, 15, 15, 45),
(5, 15, 25, 25), *
(5, 15, 45, 45),
(5, 25, 25, 45),
(5, 25, 45, 45),
(15, 15, 25, 45),
(15, 25, 25, 45),
(15, 25, 45, 45),
4:
(5, 15, 25, 45) *
For some of those the seating order matters.
Would appreciate ideas on which stack distributions you think are most important to do ICM study with.
