Using Big Blinds or M as a reference

I see in most of the videos BB's are used most as a reference on how to play/adjust.

Does no one really use M anymore?

 

What are the benefits of each, I know M tells you how many orbits you have left and probably seemed like a better reference to me than BB's?

It is just a matter of preference and the way you learned how to reference stack sizes. I really don't think one is better than the other.

If M works better for you just convert the BB's mentioned in a vid to M's so you have a better understanding.

For example if someone says 'in this spot with 10-15 BB's I do….' convert to M and you know that they make that move with that many M's.

agree with swet1.  Just comes down to what you learned with and what is more comfortable for you.  I've always been a BB guy so that is what I use.

M is a more rigorous way of describing it because you dont have to specify whether there are antes or not, but in general, i just find BB easier to use because it is much easier to work out your stack size in relation to BB rather than M, especially playing live.

     I agree with everyone else BBs is much easier. “M” can benefit when antes are in play, give you a little more information but BBs is easier to calculate.
