Great video. This high level thinking will pay dividends against great players, but having played many Bovada tournaments, I think I am insta folding. They are willing to play for stacks at any point with no consideration of ICM with terrible hands like J10s or A7o so much so that simply waiting for a big hand like QQ+ becomes extremely enticing knowing you will get paid
The fun part as you mentioned: They gain EV vs us in all those times when we do NOT have AA or KK, even though they're not thinking about it.. How often do we have AA and KK to "punish" this out of line play by them? :p (On a final table. WHEN we RFI and they 3b..) ICM (preflop sim) ASSUMES the 3betting (2nd chip lead) has the idea of how much they should be over folding after getting jammed on. They seem to be NOT even care about CeV (given their A6o call off to a jam earlier). I don't know, if we can feed in "maniac" ranges" and arrive at any good decision based on all the available sims at the moment. It is often far fetched to expect CeV correct play anyway. ICM compliant plays (for which the ICM solutions exist) are utopian to begin with, imho.
