great video man, ive been thinking on these topics for years. What do you think about the possibility of reverse-icm? Ive been thinking in some spots early in a tournament (regular tournament that can be played very often, no special mtt) , at a blind stage that one reaches easily very often, there can be some spots where gambling with slightly negative cev for the possibility of a bigger stack and more future ev coudl actually turn out to be +$ev (say you are facing 3 all ins in front of you with a 15bb stack they all have you covered, and say you have a hand that turns out to be just slightly -cev to call here).
Another thought that came up to me at some point: On the one hand, icm assumes that everyone is equally skilled. So if you feel like you are the best player left with a medium stack, this may lead to you thinking you should be even tighter than icm in some spots, right? But what im thinking, actually winning a tournament at a decently high frequency when going deep is also very important, as we also on average spend $X to get to this point. These $X that we spend on average to get to the final 9 players of say a 1000 player field, doesnt this make say a 4th place 5th place etc that we could ladder up to way less attractive to us now?

Just throwing these two of my wilder thoughts out here since it is on the topic, very aware they could both be total bs but to me it doesnt seem so obvious at all though

Almost 3 years later, I feel that this video and your previous one are drastically underrated. These topics were very much on my mind and I thank you deeply for taking the time to create this content. As I am creating my maps via PIO scripting, and using ICMIZER almost daily, your insights are a reminder that they are only a few data points to answer the larger question of what is the "best" play for you in any given spot. You have given me permission to go beyond the toy games and sims, to incorporate more criteria in my quest to become a better poker player. Thank you.
