12-15 hours? That's just crazy.

And I wasn't accusing you of saying they're not real poker. I was saying "they're not real poker."

[quote=johnp158][quote=BrianSwa]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...
whops sorry missread the origional post.

yea I cant tell you how much I completley love deepstack tournies and also how I just LOVE limit tournies. Also $3 rebuys are just amazing, becuase for a very little investment you can make alot and play a really really long tourney.

actully not sure If I have played a deepstack one now that I think of it but as for the limit ones yes I have and they are great for my style of play. Getting me kinda excited to play in a deepstack one need a damn day off at work 1st. It is another reason I prefer live tourneys over online ones also, in live you have alot of time to figure out your opponents.

I will just add that I am very partial to turbos myself. They are very nice to me.
