Hi. If you are doing this type of research I recommend to keep ranges between the situations so you change the stacks and then hit calculate button, not calculate Nash. Calculate Nash changes every range so it is way harder to see how stack change affected our decision.

But that's exactly what you want. The change of stacks should affect the decisions, right?

Hello,
This is a spot after calculating Nash:

The same spot (also after calculating Nash):

Why does ICMIZER change the open push range for UTG player?

hey there,



the button was sitting out and therefore I shoved, however there seems to be sit out option but I couldn't select it? is there a way to mark people behind us that are sitting out/will fold?

Hi. In the first screenshot, you are observing range after pressing Calculate button.
The second screenshot demonstrates result after hitting Calculate Nash equilibrium button.

These buttons do different things.
Calculate nash button finds all ranges approximately. It doesn't display a chart, it displays all calculated ranges as part of its result.

When you perform Calculate action ICMIZER finds an optimal response for hero which exploits all other opponents given their ranges and displays a precise result breaking it down hand by hand.

Usually there is some space for exploitation after Nash equilibrium approximation is found, that is why the range usually changes slightly after hitting Calculate button

Hi. This is currently not implemented feature. If you want to emulate someone sitting out I recommend to assign all of their ranges to a single super tight range, like AKs (which rarer than AA). The mistake size will be very small you run a calculation like this.

We do have plans to add it in the future, but not before we launch ICMIZER 3.

Thanks again for the speedy response to my email, and rational resolve pertaining to my issue. I look forward to using your products again in the near future!

We get the results/hold card grid when you calculate FGS but not when we calculate Nash. I want to look into the range using Equilab but it is very annoying to do it manually. Is there any way of copying the range after getting Nash Equilibrium calculation?

Hi.
You can review the ranges by clicking on them after running Nash equilibrium calculation without running calculate. The only range that you cannot click currently is the "hero range". Hero range isn't really that special and is part of simple one range in the combination of ranges that forms the Nash equilibrium result.
As a workaround, you can simply change hero position and click the range that was interesting for you. So if you wanted to see BTN range for hero push, you can put hero to CO and then click BTN push range.
Please let me know if I understood your question correctly.

I am being prompted to re-install ICMizer even though I already had it installed. Is this normal?

I feel like every time I use ICMizer I get confused about the various inputs and why things keep changing. I'm sure its just to do with being old and stupid.

Is there anyone reputable (and affordable) who offers coaching specifically on how to use the program?

Would probably only take an hour for me to get the hang of it.

Not sure but ICMIZER reads this hand as me having AA at 50/100

Hi. I recommend watching the tutorial video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0EAAtASNWM

and reading our article here:
http://www.icmpoker.com/en/blog/how-...and-histories/

They cover most of the beginner's questions. After you understand the basics your questions should be quite specific. You can email them to our support email at support@icmpoker.com or ask here, and I'll try to help.

My coaching definitely doesn't fall into the affordable category, but I believe you could find a poker coach with a reasonable hourly rate who can help you with ICMIZER, but I do not have any recommendations.

Hi Mashxx. Thank you for submitting this hand, we will investigate and fix this asap.

Hi.
As odd as it looks, it happens sometimes with Silverlight and certain video driver settings.
I recommend to download the latest version of ICMIZER which doesn't require Silverlight plugin and doesn't have such problem here:
http://www.icmpoker.com/wpfclient/icmizer_setup.exe

Couple of questions regarding using ICMizer for analysing 180 man Turbos:

1. For analysing Push/Fold decisions outside of the money (so from say 120 players down to 30 or whatevever) I've been using it with the following settings.



Are these correct?

2. For these same stages are these really the only relevant quizes to be taking in the Coach mode:




3. If I want to practice scenarios in coach mode that I would see on the second last table (the de-facto money bubble) what are the best quizzes to take? Are the 5, 6 and 7 max quizzes relevant here or are they more geared toward scenarios where you're on the final table with those numbers of players (and the ICM situation is drastically different)?

Hi

Today we've released huge update ICMIZER 2.10 so my answer will reflect the new MTT features which we've added
1. When reviewing MTT it is strongly recommended to use the MTT mode on.
In 2.10 update we've increased the limit of the remaining players to a maximum of 100. So if there are 100 or less players remaining, use the MTT mode and correctly set up the MTT control (Total number of chips, number of players remaining).
If there are more than 100 players remaining, the only current option is Chip EV mode, like on your screenshot.

2. For MTT quiz we offer either the final table training (All MTT quizzes like 1500 Man MTT, for example, features the final table coaching) or the early stage training with the Chip EV mode (first tournament in SNG Coach list).

3. We do not have a pre-final table training currently in SNG Coach and I cannot recommend some substitute. Pre-final table play is not really similar to the final table so there is no great substitute to choose here.

Great news, we've just released a huge ICMIZER 2.10 update with the following features and capabilities

MTT Mode improvements

• Nash equilibrium and Calculate support in MTT with up to 100 players remaining
• Support for resteal Nash calculations in MTT
• Support for MTT Knockout tournaments
• FGS1 support in MTT with upto 30 players remaining

General improvements

• Significantly improved performance of Nash calculation with 6 or more players.
Nash calculations in ICM mode are 2x+ faster in situations with 9 players, for example.
• Nash calculation is now supported in most situations where the Calculate is supported. The exception out of this rule are situations with limpers. Previously there were many situations where the Calculate was available, but Nash ranges weren't available.
• Improved the quality of Nash equilibrium solutions.
• Added ability to perform Calculate after making the VPIP action with an arbitrary hero VPIP range (previously it automatically jumped to 100% for the calculation).

SNG Coach

• You can now choose Hero position in spots with 7 or more players remaining

Bugfixes

• Fixed behavior of the lower hands scroller in the Replayer which was too stubborn sometimes
• Fixed visual layout of some advanced preflop situations with several push & vpip actions

Thanks for getting back to me.

Follow up question to your response to #2 above:

Will there be much of an error when using the Chip EV quiz for early-middle stages play given that it's designated as NORMAL and the tournment I'll be using it to practice for is Turbo?

Thats really a huge update I'm goofing around with it now. Was trying to find info on ICMizer 3 aproximate realse date but didn't find anything. Any ideas? Is it like 1,3 or 6 months away?

Hi

Is there a issue with how BB cev and Cev are displayed? For example this spot where we 4b jam AA only makes 20 chips?

Hi.
The tournament speed doesn't really affect our strategy. The key factor of the calculation is the size of the blinds. If the level of the blinds is the same it's pretty safe to say that the strategy should be also the same.

In chip EV quiz in SNG Coach all players have 1500 chips. What is important, however, is the ratio of the stack size to the blind level, or how many blinds are there in their stack.

Since Chip EV mode training in SNG Coach is so popular and important we plan to improve it in the upcoming updates.

Hi.

The release date is not available and is not even estimated yet. I believe it is safe to say that it won't happen before the spring of 2018. We are working hard but there are many changes and there is a lot of work to do.

It is not unlikely that we will push out some of the announced features as updates to ICMIZER 2 as soon as they are ready like we did right now with the 2.10 update with the MTT analysis improvements and the performance boost.

Hi.
We can clearly see a problem with the screenshot.

It should be saying either +2200 chips (in chip EV mode) or +22 BB if we were in the Chip BB mode. But we tried to reproduce it and couldn't, it works as intended for us.
Could you send us some details about ways to reproduce the problem to email support@icmpoker.com?
