Message: [QUOTE="dj11, post: 758508, member: 13851"] Mind boggling article AG, thanks for posting it. It should be added that according to Harrington "M" comes from Paul Magriel, who devised a quick, easy method to determine ones situation and later just referred to it as 'M' which got quickly picked up by others. While the article points out the flaws in Harrington's definition of 'M', I'm not sure the doom and gloom reaction is warranted. 'M' is transitory by nature. It is a quick, dirty peek to see just where you stand at that particular moment in a tourney. I do not believe it is meant to be used as a method to coast into some better situation. True 'M' as defined there seems to encourage a bit too much panic into decision making. FWIW, I've found that the POT button usually shows the accumulation of the blinds and antes and is an easy way to determine my 'M'. [/QUOTE]
