proper use of M late in Sit&gos

[cairpre]

I am trying understand the proper use of M in sngs
I am okay with using M to signal me to push a bit more when I am behind and not wait for a real crisis to occur. But I am not quite sure how to reliably use it when I am in a relatively good position.
For example in a sng with 6 players left. Big stack had about 4,500. I was second with 3000. Next two have about 2000. and then the rest.

My M adjusted for the short table is below 10 suggesting that I need to adjust and get fairly aggressive.
But my actual position at the table suggests that I should hang back a bit and let the shorter stacks take the risks.
I think I was more aggressive than I really needed to be.
What is the correct use of M for these kinds of situations?
And in sngs in general
Thank you. fyi I learn a ton on this site. So thanks again.

Most of what Harrington wrote really doesn't apply to sit and go's

The best thing to do is post specific hands.

This one's gonna get locked. No one uses M in STTs, nor does Harrington know what he's talking about for STTs. Read every post on 2+2 STTF for a month, then start posting hands. Read the FAQ.

Read the FAQ. Read about ICM. No one uses M in sit n goes.
