I probably should have phrased it a little differently and said "a lot of people crush them..." Personally, I've played almost zero poker in the last 2 months because I just moved and have a new job and am trying to apply to grad school this fall. Before I moved I was in the process of playing the $27 turbos on Stars and learning how to beat them. In reality I’ve only played about 800 of them, with an ROI of 12-13%. From most things I’ve read, though, you can’t expect to maintain anything much higher than that at the $27 level, although some people do. A 15% ROI definitely doesn’t sound like “crushing,” but if you can maintain that while multitabling you’ll be doing very well.

As far as actually posting a HH or a video, I think I’d like to do that. I may not have any time to do so until next week because I’ll be out of town this weekend, but I’ll see what I can do. I wouldn’t expect it to be “this is how you should play each and every hand because I’m an expert.” More of a “this is my reasoning for doing so-and-so, let’s discuss” kind of thing.

And FWIW, I know Boobie doesn’t really play these anymore, but he probably has a better understanding of this than I do. Especially SNG Power Tools and ICM, which I just haven’t spent enough time with.
