Ending of the M ratio, creation of the B...

I'm forced to post this strategy piece, and decide to in the general section, since I would like to put it to intense scrutiny, by KNOWLEDGEABLE players, who's maths are certainly stronger than mine. New concepts are never received well, regardless of their correctness, until someone with emotional intelligence and strong logic chimes in. I have been convinced for quite some time this is on of the greatest leaks in poker today, and certainly in mtts sngs and mttsngs.  Apologies for the cryptic arrogant tone, I guess over the years I have found it helpful to weed out the trolls by setting their emotions on fire in the process.  I wish I didn't have to give credentials and I'll try not to, but randoms are never received well.  I'm not super genius or an elite pro, but I have 100k games with a very strong graph in my field, and I was not near the bottom of the class in calculus etc.  Here is my attempt, at giving TRUE strategy to the community, I don't expect many to understand right away but perhaps we can create some dialog on the art of shoving and short stack poker:


I’ve somewhat shy’d away from strategy
posts in the past because I don’t have any poker friends. This means
that I have no one to bounce my theories off of, and since I’m never
well received on forums, I really have been forced to develop my own
poker maths. In light of this, there is a caution here that I am
mistaken, HOWEVER, there is a greater caution that I am correct (that if
trolls are allowed to troll then we might not realize it).


So I will be quick simple and direct as possible, but I need to start
with saying that I think this is one of the biggest leaks in the
community. And that all these books that talk about shoving and m
factors or what ever factors, have either lied to the players or simple
become outdated. Many playera will claim to understand this already, but
clearly ‘many’ players actually do not. And so you must truly check
their knowledge when they say they do.


I wrote a program (app), for nash shove charts in such a way that
would perfectly teach the concept to willing players, however at this
time I cannot post it, yet I certainly wish to give it out for free. But
its not so important as just having a few credible players confirm this
truth.


The best (most +ev) poker lines can be thought of as an unsculpted
piece of clay, in which inside lies the hidden gem, which is that which
we wish to create. It matters not that we can describe the size and
shape of the unsculpted entity since we can use other nashian mechanics
to ‘bend’ it into any form anyways. We must then see that poker is a
game of shedding the wrong lines to reveal the perfectly correct ones,
and that we can also shed perfectly correctly lines and ruin the most
perfect work of art we mean to achieve.


This is important to understand because I wish to give the community
(and really its the unfortunate players that have been lied to I am
referring to), an new tool that is more specialized than your current
one. I don’t want to name it after myself, but its always helpful to
have a single reference for it. So we will call in the B-ratio, in light
of batman (who is awesome), and denote it the symbol < ^ ^ > .


Most players will not understand the
significance, yet the best players will detest its creation, because it
is a tool for the masses and not for them.


The b-ratio is the contributed antes in the pot, divided by the bb.


Its a very special number because it allows you to cut out certain
trees of the nash equilibrium shove charts and therefore to create a
smaller set of shove charts that covers a wider range of decisions.


Its ALSO important because it helps you make more accurate decisions, than bbs shove charts or m ratio shove charts!


Don’t tell me that your charts already account for antes (other there
is possibly a few people who’s charts do), as a community we are not
counting the antes properly in discussion.


Its NOT enough to have charts for different
antes levels, your charts MUST reflect how many players at the table
contributed. Let me give you an example of an illegal question:


Folds to hero in cut off 10bbs eff with antes 500/50, whats the nash range?


WRONG, how many players contributed to the antes!!!


Where do we think edge comes from?
