Ranges / ICM preview / Under the Gun
Under the Gun on the bubble - chip-EV vs. ICM
Chip-EV treats every chip the same. On the bubble, the chips that keep you alive are worth more than the ones that just add to a stack that's already covering the table - so the correct range isn't the same range.
Under the Gun's open-shove range at 11bb effective goes from 21% of hands under chip-EV to 9% once the money bubble is real -- 12 percentage points tighter. Every stack at the table matters here, not just hero's: the covering stacks behind under the gun are what makes folding correctly worth more than the chips themselves.
