The shove is fine I think. You need to risk your stack sooner or later and even if you are double up you haven't much more chips than the 3th in chips if he's not calling. With antes from the start you need indeed defend and raise a little bit wider than without antes in play.

Does it make sense to calculte the m and play it like it were my BB?

That’s not a bad idea, but I wouldn’t shove stacks of more than 15bb most of the time.

me too. Does it make sense to adjust preflop raise sizes to the m instead of the bb. In the lower blinds there is often close 1 more bb already in. They get too good odds for calls. Later on like middle stages you can raise for 2,5bb.

The ante makes a big difference. If you deal with a 10% ante or higher and with the M factor you can adjust it. I think it’s a good strategy. How lower the M how wider you can shove.

do you mean 10% of the bb?
