pretty straight forward. blinds 40k/80k 10 k ante. say stack is 800k (10bb for intellectually redundant people) 10k/3 . so blinds look like this....

43.3333333333333333333333333333333333k AND 86.66666666666666666666666666666666666666666666k so now instead of having 10bb stack we have 9.23bb stack.

just logic just a thought. IS THIS WHAT YOU DO? WWJD?

OKAY

yeah your logic is right in some david sklansky book this is called true bb
and it should help you when u are used to preante push/fold ranges

i for my part am way more used to push/fold ranges with antes in play because most of the time when u have such a stack there are already antes involved in MTTs

I do the same. Habit from the sng days memorizing shove charts with no antes. Using M has got to be the way to go now but it's hard to break those mental habits.

I use M for push/fold spots, and think in terms of bb's for everything else.
