who cares about M

[MLG]

I agree 100% with Gavin's point, and I think its symptomatic of something bigger. The vast majority of poker players, the vast majority of people in most walks of life, want easy answers. Most posters here, post hand questions because they want to be told what to do. To that end, they love M. M provides them with a rule that is easy to follow (especially online where often everybody's M is low). The fact is that 95% of posters, and players never fullfill their potential because they never stop asking to be told what to do and start trying to learn how to figure it out for themselves. M is a useful tool to figure situations out, and the best players will see it as such. But as in most areas the vast majority will substitute a blind rule for thought, and hamstring their own progress.
