ICM
The ICM (Independent Chip Model) is a model that helps you in determining an approximation of your chips' value. Many vital factors can not be taken into account beforehand with this model. Yet, often enough those factors decide whether you should take tighter or looser ranges.
The ICM puts not stress on the following aspects:
- the Blinds
- your position
- the possible actions taken by other players after your decision
- the information that players folded before you
- your playing skills
