Why we don’t commit ICM suicide.
I listened to one of the RECpoker podcasts and Taylor was talking his normal nonsense about ICM mattering even in small stakes. After his advice recently on Satellite play worked out i decided to listen the other day. I don’t play in tournaments with life changing money so i never really cared about ICM. “Who cares about min cashing was always my mindset.”
Playing a small MTT on ACR the other day and folded AQ to a 3bet one off the bubble. I was going to be committing over 50% of my stack if i called so it was a jam/fold in my eyes. At this low of stakes i was very much above villians range, but decided to play conservative and cash. Ended up taking 3rd for a 8x buyin result.
Something never computed about being a small stack doesnt guarantee a min cash after cashing.
TLDR: Making sure you mincash doesnt mean you can’t morecash.
