| ft super turbo hi all just been railing a few high stakes super turbo's on ft is there any skill involved in these ? seems to me its just shove and pray i see quite a few pro's playing these do they have an edge ? if so how ? why would a good player play these ? seems to me good players would play in longer tourney's so they have a good advantage just curious any thoughts |

| I've always looked at them as coinflip matches too. I couldn't grasp how it could be anything but, when you start at 10bb and go down from there. But some of our regular players here corrected me on that in another thread. Apparently there is some strategy to it, but you're right that most top players prefer a deeper and slower format which always favors a higher skillset. Not sure why pros are playing in them other than just promoting them -- the sites often require their sponsored pros to "slum it" with us common folk in all the different games. |

| I think many of the pros play them for the same reason that regular players play them. They are quick and can be fun. Yes good players want to play longer, but they don't always want to grind out 6 or 7 hour tourneys. There's so much action early on that the chip stacks can add up quickly and then it becomes more like a regular tourney after the first few rounds. Main thing is though that they are just quick. |

| I've played up the 5$ and 10$ level six max super turbos, very weak play at 5, and not much better at 10. The thing is, you can just get a bad run of games and completely destroy your BR. My strategy... Early: Wait, watch. People get out fast. Stay as tight as possible... you start with 300, try and stay above 200, fold equity is very important. Bubble: It gets here quite fast with the blinds. By now you should have a rough sketch of your opponents tendencies... steal as much as you can, bully the player(s) with medium stacks. Be prepared for some really terrible play. ITM, heads up: Only two people cash, try your best to win, but honestly its a crapshoot heads up, either you have similar stacks or you're an underdog. Very rarely are you the bigstack. Bigstack is the easiest to play, underdog is hardest... |
