Yes that's the bad side of ICM Trainer , also it doesn't take into account the multi limpers you can find at the lowest stakes.
If you get to try HRC once you review your session you can manually edit the ranges of your opponents to be more IRL hand ranges and check the best answer to it.
Also on the 0.50$ , over thinking isn't always the right answer especially when you face no regulars opponents.
If you wanna look at my graph or stats you can check on my blog. I posted also the average stats of that specific field and the winners average stats.

I am not happy with my results in 0,50$ 9man. I will read strategy articles again and will get to them back later.
I am going to skip hyper-turbos for a while and grind 0,25$ SNGs.

Study session
I watched a bunch of MTT poker school youtube videos and Building A Bankroll With Micro SNGs by Collin
I reviewed my last two sessions and analyzed some marked hands.
Study plan
☐ Read SNG strategy articles
☐ Make my own ranges
☐ Study from posted hands in forum
☐ Watch Collin Reviews Multi Table SNGs
☐ Watch 3,5 rebuy 180man by maxtere
☐ ICM training
☐ Read poker books I have

Just a quick update of three sessions. Unfortunately, I haven't got to my study yet.

I seriously thinking about buying Crush 6Max Hyper Turbos course Starter package from Raise your edge. My study need something like this.
Every form of coaching is a good idea for sure but did you also spend time by yourself trying to find good books to read ?
And also looking closely at your game using a tracker before to invest money in a Starter Package ?
Of course it's great to do but before it, could be also nice to work on other areas. Depends also of the volume of game you play or plan to play.
That's just a personal guess.
Thank you for your view J-C!
Well, yes I was thinking about it this way, too. I am reading a book and study from Pokerstrategy videos and others but I feel there is no concept, I feel like it's too chaotic. Well, yes I can see some positive progress but it's very small. It's true I recently don't have much time to play either study. But I think it's just matter of time management and I'll figure it out.
What I like about this course is that it's made step by step and they say the concepts are very easily adaptable for MTT poker as well. So I think it has a big value.
I am looking for some reviews on this course right now.
In general SNGs are like MTTs but with a faster speed factor if both are turbos or both regulars.
Changes are when it comes to the bubble , on a MTT the Risk/Reward ratio is bigger so it's better to play for the 1st place.
In a Sng the Risk/Reward ratio is lower so it more likely depends on you goals , stack size according to other players and to the blinds.
Both have Early / Middle / Late games.
It's just my view on things. Also i don't think there is a magic formula to make you win and if so peoples wouldn't sell it to keep their edge
But Coaching after doing a pre work on your game can be advantageous in order to correct leaks, think about new ways to play.
Also if it is for micro stakes i don't know if skills of mid stakes or high stakes will be advantagous.
It's a bit like when Gus Hansen plays online, great poker player and well known but online he plays like crap and a huge looser.
Doesn't mean he his less skilled or whatever but skills also need to be adjusted to the stake you play in.
I often see videos advicing how to play at a specific stake or an other one , to play at a lower stake the way you could play profitable at a high stake
isn't always equal to more profits or profits at all.
I feel there is no concept, I feel like it's too chaotic.
Correct me if I'm wrong, haven't read the whole thread, but it feels like right now there's probably little structure in your learning which might be holding your progress back a bit. And if you feel that way, then I agree that maybe taking a more structured approach by buying a package like this will help you quite a bit in the long run. Watching this video and that video without much thought behind it just doesn't always work that well.
Relatively big investment now, but if it helps you to learn more consistently and efficiently, it also improves your game faster. And in that case, it's probably worth it
edit: not talking about this package specifically as I'm not familiar with it so I can't say if it's good or not. Just saying that looking for a more structured approach to learning might be beneficial
Thank you J-C and TJtheTJ,
I appreciate your comments.
I don't think there is a magic formula
You're absolutely right, there's no magic formula. Behind every success are hard work, dedication, and will.
Yeah, I am aware of this "problem" of a not interchangeable advice of different stakes.
I haven't got any information yet for what stakes this course is made.
Exactly TJtheTJ, you've got it right. It is relatively big investment but still pretty affordable and I am ready to boost my bankroll if necessary to start in bigger stakes.
I will try to match my goals from my last study plan and then I will reevaluate my decision on buying the course.
I was traveling a bit in past few days and I am still going to a in next few days too. I hope I will have a solid schedule by October.

Alright, here is just a quick update after my three sessions. It seems I am doing pretty bad. Well, I didn't have a feeling I was playing worse than before. I just got into too many unlucky spots.
Of course, bankroll management adjustment is a must so I will grind only 25c SNGs till I run it up or bust totally. No, just kidding, no bust, I hope 
I am doing a little bit of study, too but I will update my study goals later.

good luck and good profit, 
remember tight is right , (I should not be taken as an advisor since my results suck but you know...)
no, problem
happy to help ,
the things is to find +EV set ups and pushing the money in .
after knowing that it is good to understand well how your hands may be doing versus a cupple of opponents hands combos.
I always do the same mistake , pushing tptk vs aggro set oop. I find hard to fold TPTK on dry flop or turn.
spotting mistakes looks like to be a nice way to improve one's game.
again as I remember the best advice is to play in position, tight amount of hands and playing them aggressively.
a other things is to not be married to one's hand (= letting go vs draws or TPTK vs aggro player OOP when odds are not favorable and trying to stack chips with great odds in one's back)
the more informations you have the better, trying to spot how ones opponent may play draws, made hands, bluffs sounds to be really informative.
thank you for the reply ,
GLGLGLGL 
You're right, learning from mistakes is the best way to move up.
What stakes are you grinding at Cheihmi?
Do you play cash too or only MTTs or SNGs or you mix it up?
What sources do you study from if I may ask?
