And how on earth does the average M affect your payout?

Here is a scenario. You are in the money at the final table. The payout is steep. So as usual, the top four places are a lot better than 8th or 9th. No mystery there. Your M is 7.
If the average M is 30, you are in trouble

This is to do with the stacks at your table though, as I mentioned. It's not what the Q is that counts, but that you are short compared with the other players *at your table*.

and need to move fast. If the average M is 2, you can relax a little and let others knock each other out. I would play those two situations very differently.

It doesn't affect the payout though.

So really, average M has a relation to Q, as I have been stating in my posts.

Average M is Q, dude.

Here is my chart:
High M, high Q - yeah baby.
Low M, high Q - relax and watch others fall.
High M low Q - no so bad, don't do anything stupid, play poker.
Low M low Q - shove and pray.
Does this address your question adequately?

Not really. I completely agree, of course, but at the final table it's more to do with your relative stack. Yeah, it amounts to the same, but I think that the consideration is your relative stack at all stages.
And it doesn't actually affect your payout, only how you try to increase it!
