Re: I completely agree with the snyder on the issues of speed...

I think that Snyder's point is that, given how fast the blinds rise in smaller tournaments, the odds that you'll get what you define as good hands are simply slim, sometimes none, and that you often need to mix it up with lesser hands if you want to survive long enough to profit from good hands. You can't sit and wait for good hands in these tournaments, because the blinds won't let you.

And if you read Harrington II you'll see that once your M gets low the exact same strategy applies, and it applies regardless of the length of the rounds. Furthermore, if you think about the tournaments that Snyder addresses, a great deal of the time you will be in these low M situations, but not all the time.
Best wishes,
