ICM

When I started playing poker, there was pot odds and implied pot odds. I tried my best to understand these concepts and I feel I understand them enough. Then there's the Independent Chip Model (ICM) which wasn't introduced until recently. I tried to read about it and I honestly don't understand it. Or at least I don't know how I can apply it when I'm in a tournament.

I didn't have the patience to read all the ICM articles on the web. I'll just look for someone to teach them to me.
