I didn't have any questions on opening up my game, I assume that comment was toward OP.

As far as M and my recommendation, I suggested that he not concern himself with keeping up to "play his game". Would not the M and Q be part of that game? Keeping up with the chip leader when you have a below average stack is not an option, YOU HAVE TO ACCUMULATE CHIPS. How do you accumulate chips? By using YOUR skills and experiences to eak out any edges you can. Let's say you are at a extremely LAG table, according to you your Q is suffering (obviously so would your M), so you LAG it up with these larger stacks and "open up" your game as the OP suggested. Yet your own skill and experiences have taught you that when the table is loose you play tight and when the table is tight you play loose (HOH). Now if we base all of our play on the M and Q we are no longer playing our game, we are not playing the table, the players, the situations we are just opening up and stepping on the gas. This is not smart poker. This is what i meant. Please don't misinterpret my original response and tell me I need to read HOH. That's funny.

"all of your question about opening up your game are directly tied to your M ratio"

This is incorrect to say ALL. you still must play the situation, the player, the table and eak out what small edges you can. Is this not what i said by playing your game? I am merely suggesting you don't start bleeding chips off by playing every half rate hand that comes along.
