    Default Count stack size in M or BBs?

    What do you guys prefer to use? It seems that BB is probably better because it can be used easily in math analyze + one can add 2/3rds of the ante to the BB, and 1/3 of the ante to the SB for a "true" BB number.

    This.

    But it doesn't really matter, the important thing is to be aware of stack size, its implications and to involve it in your strategic thinking.

    At the far end of the table
    M is supposed to be better because it takes into consideration the antes that become an important factor in the later stages of a tournie.

    I'm not sure you have. Your version suggests that M is used outside of tournies as well.

    This, because JKDS is right about mostly everything, especially on how to lose multiple buy-ins with deceptive speed at the FTR PLOL game.

    Your version suggested M was used outside of tournies and mine was changed specifically to show that it's not.....................

    Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I usually think in terms of BB. However, I seem to think in terms of M around the bubble.

    FU penney.

    Also to make this not a spam post, you should also be using Q for tournies.

    Also While u can use bb in tourneys...its better to use M because survival is very important in a tournament setting. Knowing how many orbits you have before the blinds kill you is crucial information and you'd be wise to use it. Meanwhile, who the fuck cares what your M is in a cash game? If your stack is below what you want it to be then u just reload duh

    One may add 2/3rds of all the antes to the BB to find the effective BB.
