Turbo SNGs
I find that turbo sit-and-gos are lot like 10-dollar lap dances. They take your money, fuck with you for a little bit and then send you packing before you even knew what hit you.
Anyone else feel the same way? Please, discuss.

yes/no
maybe, but also takes alot of the skill out of the game and adds alot more to the luck factor. When the blinds are going up so much the action is forced alot sooner then it usually is. I personally dont like them and dont play them for that reason, I concider poker a game of mostly skill with a little luck thrown in there. I personally dont like doing coin flips and with the turbos you are forced to do them way too early, I peronally only like doing them when I have a good chip lead over someone. I dont like putting my tourney life on a 55% flip, but thats just me some like the action of getting all there money in and either hoping the hit or hold. |

Yes/Yes
Dude. I'm telling you. You have no idea. Turbos can be crushed over the long term. If you learn how to play them and multitable you can do very well. In fact, multi-tabling the small stakes Turbos is a good way to build a roll, provided that you play within the limits of your bankroll.
BTW, it is debatable whether or not Turbo SNGs are really poker. |

I never said it wasnt real poker, I said it dosent fit my style of play. I dont doubt there are people that can beat them but how I play they are not beatable for me. I like to mix it up, vary my style throughout the tourney and take advantage of players I concider weak. In a turbo I have no time to do that, how I play I enjoy the 12-15 hour tourneys, that is another reason why I basicly let Chuck play all the sit and go's and I play mostley MTT's. of course my sucky ass bankroll managment is another reason  , I play selective agressive poker and would not have time to figure out my opponents in a turbo, and multi tabling I usually dont do for same reason, I try not to play more then 3 tables at once because want them all up so I can see how everyone plays and take notes so I can use them later in tourney. Maybe I'am being to anal about that but hey thats how I play and its done good for me so far so why change it just so I can multi a turbo?BUT if it works for someone else hell I dont fault you for playing them and again in no way would I ever say its not poker, unless it was play money that is not real poker even in normal sit and go's I want it to last more then a hour because by the time we get 3 handed or something I want to have a very good idea how this guy plays and I want him to have no clue how I play. |

I know you've had a lot of success with these in the past, and would be interested in reading a long, detailed post from you about how you beat them. "If you learn to play them," you say - well, why not teach us? A detailed post would be great, but recording and posting a few videos would be even better. What do you think? You up for it?
