Re: I think Mason is relying on too narrow a definition of M

Let's say you have an M of 30 and are dealt a small pair. Someone else who also has plenty of chips makes a small raise. You should play.
Now suppose it's a litle later in the tournament, perhaps after the levels have just increased and you have the exact same number of chips, have the same small pair, and are against the same opponent who still has plenty of chips, but now your M is 15. You should fold. Notice that this has nothing to do with tournament speed.

Exactly what I was trying to say.
A lot of people are saying that "fast play" is the right strategy to take in fast tournaments, but also works great in slow tournaments. Doesn't that imply that it's not a tournament speed thing?!? You can't have something based on tournament speed that works good under both conditions. To me it only shows that chip gathering is a good strategy to take when your M is big. It is. But if the reason was tournament speed, you would expect it to do poorly in slow tournaments.
