In my (somewhat limited) cash game experience, a lot of otherwise good cash game players generally are not great at playing short stacks—probably because it is fairly uncommon for them to be playing one.

loving the course
Guys this is a really fun course . I'm getting a lot out of it and have been recommending it to everyone I know.
Really liked this video in particular - really important to think about what's going on in the tournament payout implications
also helpful reminder about free tools at holdem resources - going to try that out and let you guys know how I get on.

More ICM - it's important! I won't be downloading any of the tools or printing out any of the charts, but the basic concepts are now a part of my tool kit.
Quotes that stuck out "Suited broadways are the best" and "JTs does better given the types of hands that we're going to get called by". I'd been developing an informal hypothesis on this so it's fantastic to see that my guess has some ICM evidence backing it up.
Tried this today with KQs. Was called by 33 and lost of course. But still it felt good to practice what I've learned on this great course!

Finished day 25
As usual I would like to thank Cardschat for this interesting lesson.
Poker tools like Resource manager and ICM izer are very interesting. Honestly, I want to have the opportunity to work the ICM well on ICM izer, it's an important concept especially on the high limits.
Concerning the question asked at the end of the video I see that in the big blind we must 3-bet shove with a wide range of hands like Ax and medium suit connectors, but not with J9o as indicated.
This reaction calculated by ICM izer surprised me, I didn't expect to see that we can 3-bet shove with A2o, but it's a profitable decision on the long turn.

ICM ICM ICM, more ICM, despite not being at the final tables as much as I'd like, it's really important to know what to do when you get there, isn't it? Knowing when to go all in or not, use the tools in your favor and trust them, great class teachers, thank you!
25/30.

If I am playing against strong (regular) opponents who pay attention, doesn't this systematic shove of my premium hands (which are in the Magic Range) make my strategy predictable, allowing the strong opponent to optimally fold? That is, is the mathematical advantage of ICM so powerful in these short stack situations that it negates the need to play unpredictably (Day 22)?
Day 25. An excellent explanation of 3-bet shoves and a detailed breakdown of pre-flop ranges using Hold'em Resources and ICMIZER. ICMIZER makes analyzing structures quite straightforward. I’m looking forward to the next day and the topic of playing from the big blind! Thanks for the content!
