ICM Trainer

Introduction to the ICM Trainer

The ICM-Rrainer will allow you to practice for a mathematically optimal SnG game. This means that you can train specific situations in order to make the right decision. ICM is an abbreviation for "Independent Chip Model" and basically allocates a specific money value to the amount of chips in a tournament/SnG. Anyone who wants to get further details will find them in the ICM-article:

Quickstart

Training units: Once you have selected the preferences in the right side of the window under "Filter preferences", you can start your training units by clicking the button "Start new ICM training". After every answer you will get a result in the lower part of the window and the table of results in the left part of the window as well as an overview of your current achievements. You can interrupt the program at any time and save your current answers by clicking on the save function so that you can continue to work later where you left off last time.

ICM calculation: In the table "ICM calculation" you can look at the exact results of every hand as well as the results of the calculations for every hand. In order to do this you have to highlight the hand in the list of hands and confirm by hitting the "copy to the editor" button. Additionally you can add other parameters to verify the results under different circumstances if applicable.
