When talking about shoving ranges with antes I’ve recently been turned on to a way of adding up your stacks relative size that I really like, known as ‘true BB’. What it comes down to is that the ‘true BB’ is 2/3rds of the starting pot. So if the blinds are 500/1000 with 100 ante at a 10 handed table then the starting pot is 2500 with a true BB of 1666. So if you’re sitting on the button with a hand like A5s and 15 BB’s, you can simply open shove since you have under 10 true BB’s.

I still can't convert it to M :/

I have a question to number two.

If your hand isn't good enough to call a 3-bet. Can it still be good enough for an Allin?
I don't know what to do when my M is 10 and my hand is too good to fold :/

Also.. if you have like 7M and JJ in EP. Can you raise or is it Allin?

I like using BB's instead of M anyway. Here's a good article of pros discussing the differences..

that was an interesting article.

If I'm using my HUD, i'll work on Ms because my HUD will tell me

If I'm not, then I'm working in bbs because it seems easier when multitabling but I will def. take antes into account

I work in BBs early, and Ms later. I wish they would have continued that discussion. Im a big fan of Barry (even grew a beard when he did, ya, ima geek), and his responses surprised me a little. Id like to find out more in depth how he uses BBs but takes antes into account when they come in.

Actually, I guess Im not using BB early and M late. That is wrong now that I think about it. I use BB when I have a deep stack, and M when Im getting shorter. If there is some other variation that is more effective, Id like to learn about it.
