My HUD Tourney Filter (reflecting M)

[bluffsport]

I've set up an HTF for fullring NLHE MTTs with, say advanced settings to reflect tourney M while playing with antes. So first of all I had to find out the number of BB according to M:

M=20+ = 48+ BB
M=15 = 36 BB (yellow)
M=10 = 24 BB (yellow)
M= 9 = 21.5 BB
M= 8 = 19 BB
M= 7 = 17 BB
M= 6 = 14 BB
M= 5 = 12 BB
M= 4 = 9.5 BB
M= 3 = 7 BB
M= 2 = 5 BB

So this is the HTF. As seen in the right column, the values reflect the four stages of M commonly known as green, orange, yellow and red. One might also colour these stages accordingly for the HUD. BB 1-12= red, 13-24= orange, 24-47= yellow, 48+ = green.



While standard HTF configs - or the default setting - work pretty well in the early blind levels, they lose relevance as soon as played with antes. My HTF puts that upside down: It becomes more and more accurate the longer you're in the tournament.

What do you think of it? Have you found a logical mistake in it?

I dont understand how this would work. There will be shorter and larger stacks near the beginning of tourny. How will this compensate? I'm really lost. Bare with me.

The default HTF ignores Antes, that's the problem. It works well in the early blind levels without Antes, but then it becomes more and more useless. In large MTTs the majority of the blind levels are played with Antes, so the question is what is more important for you: accuracy in the early or in the late blind levels? You can't have both in HM. Nevertheless, my HTF is just a proposal that needs to be discussed.
