Canuckickstan 2 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Add the blinds and anties for 1 round, and divide into your stack. Link to post Share on other sites
litlebullet 0 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 M is how many rounds of poker you can last in a tourney, ante's included. Let's say a brief example would be you are 8-handed and blinds are 200/400 with a 50 chip ante. You have a 8k stack. You have a m of 8 because each round of play will cost you 1000 chips.

sixhands 0 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 "M" is a code letter and name for the head of the British Secret Intelligence Service.... oh and it is also what litlebullet said Link to post Share on other sites

simo_8ball 1 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Harrington initially destroyed my game. I played tight until I got fairly short, then shoved any two cards from any position.It took me a while to come back around. Link to post Share on other sites

vbnautilus 49 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 The concept was actually coined by Paul Magriel, the guy with the weird nose who goes "quack quack" all the time. That is why it is "M". Wikipedia entry on M-ratio is informative. Link to post Share on other sites
rdtedm 0 Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 M is a new product development and delivery business, focused on modern consumer lifestyles.Too early for jokes for you Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings7 0 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 M is an extremely valuable tournament concept that gives you a broad idea of how you should be playing your stack relative to the blinds. It has improved my tournament game immensely. Link to post Share on other sites
rog 0 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 So, I typed "poker M" into google and got a wikipedia page as the #4 hit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-ratio Everything you need to know about M is in there. It took me less time to find and read that page than it would to log in here and post the question. I don't mind people asking obvious questions...I'm just wondering why people don't spend 10 seconds trying to figure something out for themselves before they start a new thread that's been started a dozen times already.

It is a Poker Forum and (unlike so many posts) this is a valid Poker question - however basic it may be for some of us. Yeah, "search is your friend", but at least the guy is polite and just looking to start a discussion. Link to post Share on other sites

rog 0 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Yeah, mostly I'm just being grumpy. His post at least gave me some fodder for my mid-week work avoidance. Just seems like laziness that instead of typing it into google, he posts the question and I type it into google for him. M is a ratio of stack to blinds, OP is lazy, I'm a grumpy curmudgeon, and Potodds is the voice of reason. That about sum it up? Link to post Share on other sites

That about sum it up?I was on FCP in different forums, and realized that I kept seeing "m" and had no idea what it was. So i came here and posted, and continued trolling. If you're at safeway and need a soda, do you go to the gas station to buy one? Give me a break. Link to post Share on other sites
