Overview
The Independent Chip Model (ICM) helps one determine the equity share of a prize pool
based on the his or her chip stack.
- You'll be presented with options to select the Tournament Payout Structure.
- After entering the payouts, you can add the stack size for each player remaining
in the tournament.
- Once you have entered the stack sizes and payouts, the Calculated Equity column will display how much each player's chip stack is worth.
- This tool is excellet for negotiating tournament chops at a final table.
- While the order of the Tournament Payout structure matters, the order of the stack size does not.

The results are displayed as follows:
- Payout Structure: How much each place is paid in a tournament.
