Most poker players overlook the importance of ICM until they face a costly mistake at a final table. The Independent Chip Model (ICM) is crucial in multi-table tournaments, yet few players grasp its significance beyond playing tighter on the bubble. ICM affects key monetary decisions and influences various aspects of a tournament, including game selection, staking, registration timing, and strategies during different phases of play. This book offers an in-depth exploration of ICM and its implications for tournament play, featuring insights that many professionals may not know. Readers will learn how to adjust their strategies in late stages, determine when to ladder or play for the win, negotiate final table deals, and optimize game selection and registration strategies. It also covers tactics for managing short, average, and large stacks as tournaments progress. Dara O’Kearney, a professional poker player and co-host of The Chip Race Podcast, is recognized for his expertise in ICM, particularly in satellite tournaments. His insights are sought after by professionals preparing for significant final tables. This book is a valuable resource for both beginners seeking to understand ICM and advanced players aiming to refine their strategies.
