My book expands on Harrington’s and Sklansky’s insights to consider tournaments with structures where the M is moving so fast that it is distorted almost beyond recognition.

I had decided to actually get a sign-on and make my first post to the forums on this thread after several months of lurking. Turns out the author has already summed things up himself. Harrington talks about the situation where you know the blinds are going to be raised within a short time by using the new blind level to compute your M. Snyder's book suggests additional tools to use in extreme cases. I wish I had read the book before one tournament I played in recently. I started in the cutoff seat and the 10 minute blinds had hit the 2nd level before I had even gone thru the blinds the first time. In the MTT forum they talk about accumulating chips early. In tournaments with fast structures you don't have the luxury of waiting for premium starting hands to do that.

My only quibble with the book is that in the chapter on negotiating prize money chops at the final table Snyder seems to be advocating giving up more value than seems optimal, especially for the chipleader.
