Who this is for
- You play online multi-table tournaments or sit and gos, and you reach the stage where the money is close.
- Your decisions near the money feel tighter or looser than the chip math says they should be, and you want to see why.
- You know the rules and the basics. You want the tournament-specific math.
The situation
Near the bubble a chip is not worth the same to every stack. ICM turns stacks and payouts into prize equity, so you can see what a chip is worth to each player.
Bubble factor explains why a call that is fine in a cash game becomes a fold when the money is close.
Short stacks live in push or fold territory, and the right shoving range depends on stack depth, position and who is left to act.
Big stacks face different questions: whose blinds to take, and when pressure costs little.
The plan
The package for this plan is the Eight-Week Program: 8 sessions of 60 minutes and 10 reviewed hands for $1,750 in all. You apply first, and approval comes by email. If you take the Game Assessment first, it counts as session one when you buy the program within 14 days of it, and the program then costs $1,600 for the other 7 sessions and the 10 reviewed hands.
Game AssessmentHands from the late stages of your own tournaments, reviewed against chip math and ICM numbers.
