How Future Game works
ICM that sees the next orbit.
- Looks round the table Future Game plays out the hands to come until every seat has posted the same blinds, then values the stacks. A short stack about to pay the big blind is worth less than plain ICM says.
- Orbits at final tables At a final table of two to five players, choose 2, 4 or 6 orbits; 6 is the default. The line under it says how many hands that is.
- Bubbles and the money For a multi-table event, enter the players left and the field’s stacks. Field decays over future hands lets the other tables lose players while yours plays, so the bubble gets closer.
- Field busts per hand Set how many players the field loses each hand, or leave it blank and HydraSolver works it out from your table.
- Future Game Risk What each stack is worth before a card is dealt, beside plain ICM’s figure, so you see what looking ahead is worth to each seat.
- Bounties too Future Game works with PKO, Jackpot PKO, fixed KO and Mystery Bounty.
Tournament EV
Solve for the payouts, not the chips.
- Every value model Chip EV, ICM, Future Game and Satellite (Target Stack). Pick one in Settings and the next Start solves for it.
- Payout structures Pick a real event such as the WSOP Main Event, ACR Venom or GGMillion$, build a ladder from a field, a % paid and a pool, or import your own.
- EV in tournament dollars Read every EV in $, or in big blinds, chips and % of pot.
- Preflop and postflop Solve a final-table preflop tree, then open any flop from it as a postflop sim with the same tournament.
- Every Hold’em and PLO game Hold’em, PLO, PLO5 and PLO6. Short Deck and the hi-lo games use ICM.

Questions
Common questions.
What is Future Game?
A tournament model that looks ahead. It plays out the hands to come round the table before it values the stacks with ICM, so the blinds, position and stack sizes all count.
When does it matter most?
Near the bubble, in satellites and at short-handed final tables, where the blinds about to come change what a stack is worth.
How far does it look?
Once round the table. At a final table of two to five players without bounties, choose 2, 4 or 6 orbits.
Does it slow the solve down?
Start takes a little longer while Future Game is prepared. The solve then runs at its usual speed.
Which games have Future Game?
Hold’em, PLO, PLO5 and PLO6. Short Deck and the hi-lo games use ICM.
