Raise to 500 is fine in this spot.

Why would you go all-in for 19xbb?

Becuase of ante and M is lower than 8 I thought...

I play these spots considering antes as effective blinds, so total blinds are 500, like it were 167/333 and you have 11.6BB calculating this way, so I would shove.
Is this reasoning bad?

When it boils down to it though, you have 19xbb either way.

I'm completely against shoving that much into a pot PF when i'm the open raiser.

What do you think you'll get called by that you're far ahead of?

All the hands that would be calling such a big shove would either have you crushed or you would be flipping.

It's not like it is 10xbb and you have donks making bad calls with k-10, A-x hands and suited high connectors.

It's 19xbb and there is no way i'm shoving there utg +1, 8 handed.

How about....If it was 15.5xBB 3100 STACK M=6.2 TT UTG+1? still raise? or shove?

I wish people would shut up about M. It's pretty pointless in anything less than a 180 man imo. This is a 2.5x with a view to calling only mp1 and bb's shove.

Akagi we don't worry to much about our M in STTs just how many BBs we have.

19 bb is to much to jam this.

raise to 500 is fine and call the shorty if they shove.

I think what ragz is trying to say is that around here (Sttf) we use the number of BB's rather than M as in sit n go's M is pretty useless/irrelevant.
We do have 19x the BB here but there's antes too so we have to factor them in too, i can't remember the "formula" for doing this so if a reg could chime in with it that'd be handy!
As for the hand itself raising 2.5x is waaay better for reasons already stated by ragz & daisy.

+1 to hating M. I actually take pleasure deleting those "M = ..." things when I convert hands.

I tend to think of it as "there is 500 in the pot, and 2/3 of that is sorta like the BB, so it's like a BB of 333". Going by that logic its 11.6 effective blinds, which is just 1.5 x M (duh).

But that logic is just a simplification. With antes it is generally much better to make your raise size 2.25x-2.5x rather than 3x preflop, otherwise the pots end up too large to leave enough room to maneuver postflop.
