Entry cost

Calls need a clear equity edge over chip EV.

Use the equity-needed number as your ICM call threshold. When it climbs above normal chip EV, thin calls need to become folds.

Recommended adjustment

Tighten call-offs and make opponents prove they have enough equity. Your best gains usually come from applying pressure, not from taking thin calls.

Ladder read

Meaningful ladder ahead. Avoid thin call-offs, but keep attacking stacks that can fold into the next payout band.
