ICMIZER: Software Review
Icmizer is a professional tool for MTT, SNG, and Spin & Go enthusiasts.
With its help, you can analyze your game and make the most profitable decisions preflop according to ICM (an acronym for Independent Chip Model) and FGS (which stands for Future Game Simulation).
The software focuses on push-fold analysis, specifically on evaluating pre-flop situations during the late stages of tournaments, where users face the crucial decision of either going all-in or folding.
It's not only capable of modelling situations based on your specifications but also allows you to review hands you've played using the "Replayer" function. Besides, you can use it on your mobile phone.
What is ICMIZER?
This specialised poker calculator is most efficient at the late stages of tournaments. It models various scenarios, and your task is to choose the correct decision. The program will guide you on when to move all in and when to call/fold, explaining why you need to push and why muck cards.
Players no longer need to delve into the intricacies of poker math and complex calculations or learn to make predictions – the software will do it for you but much faster and more precisely.
This application will come in handy in many spots, but its maximum effectiveness is achieved when used in the following situations:
- when facing an all-in from the Small Blind, and so you need to decide whether to call or fold;
- if you experience any difficulties with understanding bubble play in MTTs;
- if you rarely reach the final table with a big stack;
- when deciding the optimal time to go all-in with a 5 BB stack;
- if the button frequently steals blinds;
- you play with a large stack having a weak hand against a short stack;
- you play with a medium stack (10 BB) and a medium hand against an opponent with a bigger stack who goes all-in.
Capabilities of the Software
- ICM calculations, taking into account lots of different factors and displaying options against each of 169 possible hands.
- In MTTs, calculations are performed up until the final table. In addition, the tool allows people to parse tournaments with progressive knockouts.
- Each stage of calculations provides a detailed analysis, ensuring the accuracy of the results obtained.
- Visualization of hands at the table enhances the ease of information perception.
- Possibility to edit actions.
- Charting.
- Application of Nash equilibrium principles.
- Easily create tournaments of different formats for further analysis in the program (the process of creating itself is extremely fast).
- Loading hands and even tournaments from the best online poker rooms.
- Convenient display of the loaded hand list for easy comprehension.
- Possibility to shift a hand in Replayer immediately (if it is available).
- The app offers several levels of FGS depth, which allows you to make predictions more precisely.
SNG Coach Tool
Since using the discussed software during gameplay is prohibited, it would be beneficial to practice your push/fold strategy. This is where SNG Coach comes in.
In essence, it replaces training sessions with a coach. Each day, 120 questions are available to users, which can be roughly compared to 2 hours of training.
Pro-subscription holders can purchase an additional 5 000 SNG COACH questions for more intensive workouts.
ICMIZER3 has upgraded the SNG Coach module. Changes have been made to the interface, with questions now appearing one at a time instead of all at once as before.
Additionally, it is now possible to adjust the training parameters. With it, you can work on weak points in your game.
The training tool features
- Push-fold training according to the individual parameters. The user chooses tournament type from the variety of popular SnG and MTT, the number of players at the table, stack size, blinds’ level and position at the table.
- Generation of training tasks according to your discipline. The app will create situations for you in which you should decide which is more profitable – push or fold.
- Training in a game format. The training takes place in a comprehensible interface in the format of choosing a push or fold in a time constraint.
- Internal leaderboard. Your progress is visualized as a percentage in respect of the success of other users.
- Wide variety of tournament types. There are almost all types of the popular SnG in the program, including knockouts, and many MTT options. You can filter them according to your preferences.
- Modification of tasks based on your answers. If you do well, the tool makes tasks more difficult, but if something is more difficult for you, then it simplifies the task.
Hand Replayer Option
You can replay, parse and review any hand stored in the application’s hand history if necessary. There is a possibility to sort your hands by the size of the won pots and by the type of action (your all-in or call of other players’ all-in).
- Replayer of hands on the preflop. The ability to view your hand for primary analysis.
- Sending hands for analysis to the software. The programs use one base that allows you to instantly transfer a disputed hand for deeper analysis through the ICIMIZE button.
- Grouping of hands by colour. Each shade represents the pot size won or lost in the hand.
- Hand marking by decision type. It allows you to sort actions by decisions and track the patterns in hand.
- Odds displaying. The program automatically determines pot odds on all streets, as well as winning odds.
