This advanced poker training session uses Peak GTO trainer to master difficult final table spots. Learn ICM implications, proper shoving ranges with different stack depths, and how to apply pressure at five-handed tables. Train your intuition for high-pressure tournament decisions.

Training ICM spots with GTO tools improves final table decision-making. Stack depth dictates aggression. Big stacks exploit shorter stacks.

Final Table Mastery Through GTO Training:

  • ICM changes your ranges dramatically - hands like AQ offsuit become folds in three-bet spots where you'd normally continue
  • Big stacks on the button can shove 35+ big blinds extremely wide when short stacks are in the blinds to apply maximum pressure
  • Suited aces become small three-bet bluffs rather than calls - A7s and lower mix between folding and re-raising small against opens
  • Stack distribution matters more than hand strength - pocket sevens fold to raises when ICM pressure is high but shorter stacks are present
  • The bubble factor shows how much extra equity you need before getting money in at final tables versus cash games
  • Peak GTO trainer's library lets you filter exact stack situations to prepare for specific final table scenarios before playing
  • Training repetition builds intuition for high-pressure spots where you must make quick decisions without calculators
