    Since the home game is the only occasion where I will play a tourney with one prize, I try to think in terms of a normal payout structure.

    26.7

    25

    24.5 me

    21

    18

    I am officially the middle stack, meaning I should have the highest ICM pressure, but is the pressure higher or lower when stacks are so close?
    There are 5 players, I am 3rd and have 21.3% of the chips.
    The chip leader has 23.2% of the chips, and the small stack has 15.6%.
    In a normal payout structure, is this closer to a chip EV situation, or should I be playing Queens plus?
