ICM Calculator (Independent Chip Model)

Enter the final-table stacks and the payout structure to compute each player’s cash expectation under the Malmuth-Harville Independent Chip Model (ICM). Every figure is computed by lib/poker-math.ts.

The Independent Chip Model converts tournament chips into cash expectation — the core tool for final-table deals and marginal decisions.
