ICM doesn't depend on your bankroll, so being on your own or backed makes no difference. You should be trying to maximize the $ you make, not the # of tournaments you win weather on your own roll or a backers, and ICM is the best way we have to determine our actual $EV. It is a common myth that ICM can be ignored if you have an infinite bankroll.
