In no-limit or pot-limit poker, a player's M-ratio is a measure of the health of a player's chip stack as a function of the cost to play each round. The M-ratio is calculated by dividing the number of chips a player has by the sum of the small blind, big blind, and any antes. A player with a low M must act soon or be weakened by the inability to pay blinds and antes. Therefore, the M-ratio is a way to determine the risk associated with playing each round in relation to the strength of a player's chip stack. In short, the M-ratio is inversely related to the cost of playing each round in poker. The lower the M-ratio, the higher the cost of playing each round.
