Re: The Poker Tournament Formula by Arnold Snyder...
[ QUOTE ]
Both Mason and Dan Harrington have acknowleged that in an extreme example like this, where the blinds will go up in just one, two, or three hands, strategy is greatly influenced by your impending M, and not just your current M. The debate has been over less extreme situations, such as fast tournaments in which the blinds go up every 15 minutes.

I recently had dinner with Dan and we talked about this very subject. Dan's opinion was that having the blinds go up every 15 minutes as compared to every 60 minutes should have absolutely no effect.
As I have stated many times before, and in which you continue to ignore, is that it is my opinion that Snyder was such an inexperienced poker player that he didn't understand that certain plays were working in these fast tournaments not because of speed, but because of the very low skill level of many of his opponents. He hit upon some of the right plays because he's a good observer, but didn't understand the complexities of poker to really see why they worked.
