"M" Question and the 40% rule

[ebaudry]

My AQs push here is the best way to play this hand given a 7BB stack and an effective M of just over 2?

Push the first.

***EDIT - I just ran the ICM calcs on the second because I didn't feel confident in what I said and SNGPT says it is a push.

I really don't like applying Harrington's "M" theory to SNGs. I think it's great, but in short stacked Party SNGs you are better off figuring out ICM.
