Episode 104 - The Importance of ICM and Logical Decision Making

Author: Poker On The Mind Podcast April 19, 2021 Duration: 41:36
The hosts discussed the WSOP’s announcement of their fall 2021 dates.

After some discussion of the possibilities that the fall festival might hold, the hosts turned their attention to answering a question sent in by David who was curious about the role ICM should play in his decision making at a final table with 3 left.

In this case, David was 2nd in chips and the short stack (who folded on the button) had only 2.5bbs. The big stack was shoving every hand and David found himself looking at ATo in the BB, the big stack shoves from the SB & he wondered what the correct move was since ATo is a pretty strong hand in a 3-handed game.

Topics covered include:

● The role ICM plays in decision making
● Why logical decision making is more important than ego driven decision making
● How being triggered (or feeling bullied) can lead us to make suboptimal decisions
