Equity Formula Poker
Posted By admin On 10/04/22In poker, the Independent Chip Model (ICM) is a mathematical model used to calculate a player's overall equity in a tournament. The model uses stack sizes alone to determine how often a player will finish in each position (1st, 2nd, etc.). A player's probability of finishing in each position is then multiplied by the prize amount for that position and those numbers are added together to determine the player's overall equity.[1][2]
The term ICM is often misunderstood to mean a simulator that helps a player make decisions in a tournament. Such simulators often make use of the Independent Chip Model but are not strictly speaking ICM calculators. A true ICM calculator will have the chip counts of all players, as well as the payout structure of the tournament, as input and each player's equity as output.[3]
Now apply the formula. The percentage of making your hand is: On the Flop: 8.4 = 32% (with 2 cards to come) On the Turn: 8.2 = 16% (with 1 card to come) This is not 100 per cent accurate but it is close enough to work with at the table. You have A♥ K♥ and flop top pair on a flop of A♠ 3♣ 6♦. Learn the percentages of your favorite poker game. Determining poker odds depends in large part on the game you're playing. For example, the formula for getting a particular hand in 7-card stud is different from that of Texas Hold 'em, arguably the most popular poker game in the world.

The ICM can be applied to answer specific questions, such as:[4][5]
- The range of hands that a player can move all in with, considering the action so far and the stack sizes of the other players still in the hand
- The range of hands that a player can call another player's all in with, and recommends either calling or moving all in over the top, considering all the stacks still in the hand
- When discussing a deal, how much money each player should get
