Overview

The Independent Chip Model (ICM) helps one determine the equity share of a prize pool based on the his or her chip stack.
  1. You'll be presented with options to select the Tournament Payout Structure.
  2. After entering the payouts, you can add the stack size for each player remaining in the tournament.
  3. Once you have entered the stack sizes and payouts, the Calculated Equity column will display how much each player's chip stack is worth.
  4. This tool is excellet for negotiating tournament chops at a final table.
  5. While the order of the Tournament Payout structure matters, the order of the stack size does not.
