That's got to be a typo. Has to be 400K more.

Well if that's true AJ overbet the flop. I think the AQ was really thinking about the possibilities of AA/QQ/88 (nitty I know, but maybe that's waht it takes to survive tourneys)

The Cost Per Round
In Dan Harrington's book "Harrington on Hold'em" he introduces readers to the concept of "M," which is just a fancy way of referring to what it costs a player in blinds and antes to play one orbit in a tournament.

At the current blind level, 12,000-24,000 with a 3,000 ante, it costs players 63,000 just to play one round. With the current average stack of 1,428,700, the average chip stack's "M" is 22.67 (meaning, they could fold every hand for 22 2/3 orbits before going broke). According to Harrington, an "M" of 5 is considered a short stack while an "M" of 30 or more is a very comfortable stack to play with



We had an argument yesterday about the percentage of people who are still in and know what M is.

I guess the secret is out now

Nah.

The M is defenetly not 36, its around 25 according to some quick math I made.
60x25=1500

Actually, Dan says an M of 20 or more is "the green zone", not 30.
