This article is full of Harry Potter references. Hermine vs Harry, Philosopher stone, wave of a hand. Very niceky written, though ICM still is not 100% clear to me. ;>#4

How to use ICM is the easy part. How to get it right by correctly assessing your opponents' various ranges is the hard part, and a slight error there can make using ICM completely -$EV in itself. :)#7

i don't see how the ICM could affect your play in a bad way. You don't have to follow it 100%. you don't have to push with a 4-8 suited when it tells you to.For me it just made it so much easier to push with for example a K high or 6-7 suited. i understand the true value of a hand way better now.

It hurts my head thinking about it - will need to come back and work out how to apply on the fly.#9

About: Mathematically, there is a closed-form solution for obtaining the probabilities of placement using conditional probabilities. But I think this metaphor is sufficient for our explanation.I'm sorry to contraddict the author but you don't need to explain in detail conditional probabilities. It's much easier with an example and the only mathematical concept you need is very intuitive i.e. events occurring together (by the way it's a mere multiplication).
I suggest to readers, in order to have a clearer idea, to have a look to the book of Dan Harrigton: 'Harrington on Holdem Volume 3'.

$EV = 0.15*$50 + 0.17*$30 + 0.20*$20 = $16.6This was the Klaus example...where did the $50 come from? and the $30 and the $20......if i could work out where these numbers came from i might stand a chance...til then i'm off to bang my head into a brick wall.....aaaaarrrrrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
