Description

BBZ ICM Pre-Flop Masterclass – Final-Table Ranges That Win

Final tables are where ROI is made, and pre-flop choices under ICM are where most players slip. BBZ’s ICM Pre-Flop Masterclass gives you a clear framework for stack-size, payout, and seat-by-seat pressure so you stop donating chips when the money is real. If you want an extra angle on payout pressure beyond this course, the targeted modules in ICM Unmasked complement the approach well.

What Makes This Different (And Useful Right Away)

You get solved pre-flop ranges for common final-table layouts, plus simple rules for when to shove, call, or re-shove as stacks shift. The course also separates freezeout and PKO trees so you don’t misprice a bounty spot. For KO-specific depth, add RIO Knockout Tournament Mastery to sharpen bounty equity decisions.

Tools You’ll Use Under Pressure

  • Solver-driven charts (Monker/Pio/ICMIZER): clean ranges for opens, 3-bets, shoves, and calls by position and stack.
  • PKO adjustments: how bounties change your call/shove thresholds near bubble and final two tables.
  • Seat-by-seat risk management: respond to chip leaders on your left vs. short stacks on your right.
  • Hand history breakdowns: real FTs showing how theory translates into clicks.
    If short-stack execution is your weak point, pair this with Mastering GTO Short-Stack Play (Jonathan Little) for crisp 10–25bb decisions.

Who It’s For

  • MTT grinders who reach day twos but struggle to convert at FTs
  • Players moving up who want a reliable ICM baseline before adding exploits
  • Satellite and series grinders facing constant ICM pressure in late stages

A Simple FT Prep Routine (30 Minutes)

  1. Identify stack distribution and payout jumps; label two biggest pressure seats.
  2. Load the matching chart pack; note marginal calls that flip from +chipEV to −$EV.
  3. Mark three shove/call tweaks for PKO vs freezeout.
  4. Review one recent FT hand and rewrite the line using course ranges.
    To round out your PKO endgame shove/call instincts, the bounty-focused lines in Bounty Beast (RYE) are a tidy add-on.
