bahmrockk spiced up this week with a Fixed Limit live video on Titan
Poker. In this video he plays three short-handed tables and he is not
using notes on the players, which is why he rather focuses on reading
their play. The video should help players get more aware of the
transition from full ring to short-handed play.

It is a representation of your stack - divided
by the BB + SB + Antes. Depending on how big your M is, you fall into
one of several zones which require either tigher or more aggressive
play.
The M-Factor according to Dan Harrington
