ICM Trainer

I am useing the ICM Trainer from this site and i am learing the direct bubble play on 9 man games but i have a question of something i dont understand.

situation 4 handed hero is sb hand doesnt matter but every time the program says difrent push ranges when the situation is the same. so i am wondering what this is and how do i understand it.

Can you give a couple of specific examples?
The push range depends on relative stack sizes -- :
if SB's stack is bigger than BB's stack, and there is a very short stack in UTG, then you can push any two (just as an example)
If SB's stack is smaller than BB's stack, and there is a very short stack in UTG, then SB must be much, much tighter, and BB can 3Bet very widely
 If SB has a very short stack (1 or 2 BB) and UTG will be forced all-in on the next hand, SB should fold all but AA (and maybe even those)

Those are just off the top of my head without looking, but it gives the general idea.

Note that it is the stack sizes that matter more than the cards in such extreme cases.

i have stack size simelar for everyone but i understand the idea can it be that blind level are a thing to. i dont have an exaple rigth now i am on my phine i will look tommerow for it

I am working with ICMIZER and my calculation belief has changed we have a very linear concept of ICM calculation very often 1 + 1 does not equate to 2 for icm.
