Re: \"True M\" vs. Harrington\'s M: Critical Flaws in Harrington\'s M Theo
There are some adjustments you need to make with a very fast structure. Harrington made an approximation that M was the number of rounds until you are blinded out. This is an accurate approximation for the tournaments which Harrington plays in, with 90+ minute rounds, but it is not accurate for low buyin live and online tournaments with very fast structures.
In some tournaments with very fast structures, you may need to gamble to maintain a stack large enough that you will have folding equity when the blinds increase. Most of the books assume major tournaments with slow structures, and do not discuss strategy for turbo tournaments.
