i've only read half of his vol. 2 book and found the M concept interesting and have been using it. or do most people just look at how many BB they have in their stack to base decisions on.

is there a post that gives some rule of thumb as to what your play should be based on your M or # of BB's in your stack when faced with X # of players?

i've just been going on feel really.

I have seen posts talking about how this is NOT a good concept to apply to SnG's. I wish I had more information for you but I think it had something to do with most party players not even knowing that BB is a unit of measurment for your stack size.

I have no idea. I don't use it either.

If you play at a site without antes, looking at M and your stack in terms of BB is essentially the same thing. They both measure how many rounds you can last before you're blinded out.

Yeah I like to know my M so I have an idea of how desperate I am.
