In order of importance:

  • 1. Basics of ICM, what the situations are where it matters most and why, and how to adjust.
  • 2. Push/Fold strategy for stacks of 10bb or less.
  • 3. Preflop charts for 40bb stacks
  • 4. Preflop charts for 20bb stacks
  • 5. Preflop charts for 80bb+ stacks
  • 6. ICM in depth

Thankyou Alan. What I was looking for


Two other things to focus on: when players make poor adjustments when increases in blinds should be changing their game, if you see collusion by a stable to build up a super stack NEVER play that tournament again.
