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

You're in MP with 55 and it is folded to you. Your M is 15 (down from 30 because the blinds doubled 2 or 3 hands ago when you were on the button). The players yet to act all have stacks comparable to yours. Based on your M the proper move is to fold since a small pocket pair is a speculative hand and the implied odds if you hit a set aren't there. However due to the short blind levels (we'll say 10 minutes) you know that the blinds will be going up just as you reach them the next time. That would decrease your M to 7.5 (assuming no antes). Odds of getting a starting hand as good as this one in the next several hands are low. I'd say that you could be justified in going all in with this hand which would be the proper move in the orange zone with hopes of either taking down the blinds or, even better, getting called by 2 overcards where you'll be the slight favorite.

So blinds are 100/200 and you go all-in from MP with 55 and 4500 chips?
