A couple of hands I thought were interesting:
Hand 10-7: You're the big stack with an M of 24 and sit UTG with AhJh. Table has eight players and you raise to 3xBB and get a call from the button who has the second largest stack. Flop comes 9h7s3s and Harrington recommends not c-betting, because you don't want to get into it with a stack that can do significant damage to yours. I'm not sure I agree 100%, but it's something I don't consider often enough.
Hand 10-15: Harrington points out that in small-stakes online tournaments, you often end up in situations where you aren't quite in the money, or are barely in the money, and even the tourney chip leaders have very low Ms. In this hand you have the second largest stack of the remaining 54 players, but your M is 4! Harrington makes the great point that you should not tighten up and play conservatively here, your play should be governed by your M, not your Q.
