I am confused

FT has these Super Turbo SnGs, you start with 300 chips and the blinds go up faster than you can get around the board! I don't understand how I am winning 4 straight of these playing "normal" poker when it is a crapshoot on crack!

I have played in these SNG's, they are fun thats for sure. I believe that you can sit out a few had in the beginning in hopes that players take each other out, but you also have to play hands that would normally be folded due to the blind structure. It is possible to cash in these SNG's by playing normal poker, however i wouldn't trust this type of play to work everytime.

Its amazing. I cashed in tons of those and it seems that most people get scared in the first two rotations and start freaking out. All you have to do is double up every other full blind rotation since the feild is narrowed by almost half in the first couple of hands. But weirdly enough you still can play semi-tight and dominate those who'll push any two suited or face card. It also seems if you can get 650+ chips it is almost a sure thing you can get ITM.

Way to go, Wyte22!!

Crapshoot on Crack, indeed! The turbo games are definitely more exciting!

I have wanted to watch one of these... I doubt I would ever play in one... but I would love to see one go down.

sounds like drawing from a hat

Good Luck and hopefully continued success, but be very aware 4 games is not close to a sufficient pool size to determining a poker streak, good or bad.

I avoid turbos, they go against my poker style. Regular online games themselves (10 min blinds) are turbo already when compared to a live tourney (20 min or more). Online turbo or even worse super turbo(or whatever your cardroom calls them) are just games for the poker room to make money faster. Players are forced to play unworthy hands for entire chip stacks very early in the game. If I am forced to push my entire stack, so be it, but not in the first few blind levels with no hand.

These games are better than your average government run lotteries (lotteries skim 50% off the top), but share the same concept. They are decided by who gets the cards, not how the cards are played.
