The short answer is 1) SNGWiz is wrong
and 2) you could make the best push/fold table you've ever seen with it.
Okay, so here's the loooong answer...
Fundamentally, any program that uses the standard ICM equation (aka Malmuth-Harville, or even Malmuth-Weitzman) as the basis for its analysis (like SNGWiz does) is going to have some pretty big problems. This is because standard ICM equations are completely oblivious to position.
Standard ICM equations will tell you that 1000 chips UTG always has exactly the same equity as 1000 chips on the button. As I'm sure you know, and as anybody who knows anything about poker will know, this just cannot be right. In fact, its absurd. In fact most winning poker players will tell you that value of position is one of the *most important* concepts in all of poker strategy. Yet, the standard ICM equations have no clue about it.
You would never take strategy advice from another player that tried to tell you that position has no impact on chip equity, so why would you take advice from a computer program that thinks that?
This is the fundamental advantage of
SnG Solver over every ICM based program out there...
SnG Solver uses what I have called "
Advanced ICM". This is a new model that is aware of position and will calculate vastly superior stack-to-equity estimations.
I mean no disrespect to SNGWiz. It has served the poker community well and helped to turn many a player into winning players. But at the end of the day, its analysis is not that deep and it is possible to do much, much better. Which is exactly what
SnG Solver does.
