Hi Mason:

Hi TV:

I don't think so. Using Harrington terminology, there is no question that when your M is 10 you have playing advantages over opponents whose M is 5. But when your M is 80, I don't believe you have any advantages over someone whose M is 40.

Best wishes,

I strenuosly disagree with this. If nothing else having and M of 80 allows you to win twice as many chips as a player who's M is 40. Also, while this might not make itself apparent in any individual hand, the player with an M of 80 will be able to play more speculative hands until the blinds go up or his stack bleeds away than the player with the M of 40 will. So, he in effect has twice as many opporunities to flop a big hand and win a big pot and further grow his stack. Those are the two issues that come to mind immediately but there may be more.

Best wishes,
Mike
