Hi Dara

I've heard you say on a recent Chip Race episode that, contrary to widespread misperception, when players reach the final 2 tables in a standard MTT, the ICM pressure has actually been coming *down* and is lower than many people think.

This appears to be in tension with what you wrote in chapter 3 ("Bubble Factor") of your Endgame book. Specifically the section where you discuss a chart from the book Kill Everyone, which shows the average bubble factor over the course of a typical online MTT. This section contains the statement "the final two tables is where ICM is heaviest", and this agrees with what the chart shows. (Bubble factors peak on the FT bubble, and steeply increase leading up to this peak).

Can you help resolve the apparent contradiction? If necessary, I'll try to find the exact podcast episode where I've heard you say that ICM pressure is lower in the semifinals and quote your exact words from it. (Perhaps I'll realise that I misunderstood something?)

Thank you for being awesome and for providing a prompt and detailed answer to my excellent question, ideally by 7pm today. (No pressure, though. 8pm is fine, too.)
