Re: No love for Harrington
This is kind of splitting hairs. In later stages of tournaments, where one has to play a lot of shove-it-in poker, a "10BBs remaining" situation is approximately equal to a "5M" situation. I think that M is a slightly better indicator, and stack-to-pot considerations are still valid, of course.
However, if every poker authority/commentator/writer/whatever referred exclusively to "BBs remaining" rather than "M", they would still be referencing the same basic concept. Different terminology, differently scaled ruler--no big deal..
