No. 500 chips = $58.74. Chips don't magically retain rake value. True there is no ICM in HU. However, saying that "in 6max sngs your ICM EV changes even when you're not in the hand sometimes" suggests that you probably don't understand the red line and/or ICM fully. Needless to say, not understanding the red line and insisting on a $10k bet based on the redline is pretty lol.
Additionally, Ive noticed semi-occasionally that HEM imports stars HH incorrectly or has an incomplete game or 2 per session (as seems to have happened with emotionx) therefore throwing off your red lines quite significantly. Even if just 1 hand incorrectly imports for 1 or both of you and the end of the game records correctly, you may never find it. Using stars HHs at the end of the bet will be mandatory to avoid all of this, but still not 100% failsafe (although pretty close). Just another reason doing a redline bet is silly.
