| I didn't know these existed til I saw a guy mention them. He was 4 tabling the 3.50 + .30$ ones and from the looks of it he was doing pretty well and turning a profit. I'm really tempted to try them out. If you try them out let me know how it goes. |

| Donkfest, but tons of fun if you can play them WELL within your BR. These games are NOT a way to build a bankroll, just a way to blow off a bit of steam and maybe win a few dollars with some luck. The $3.50 games are cheap enough to have a laugh with, the $7.50 gets a bit more serious. Check out the high stakes ones, I think they are $169. Usually a couple of pro's messing about in them. |

| This definitely calls for opening up your range and playing a bit more loose PF. Wait for a nut flop to push and double on opponents imo. Playing tight in this type of tournament is simply going to cause you to get eaten alive by blinds. |

| There has to be an optimal way to play these, despite the seemingly insane format. Does anyone have examples of a player on sharkscope or similar with long-term solid results in this format (matching or exceeding traditional SNG or Turbo SNG results)? |

| Love em I play these almost everytime they come up,if I have the money.I am referring to the MTT ones however.A few times I made some deep runs.The only strategy there is would be a Push/Fold.I refuse to push in early position with anything less than A 10,simply because any PP is going to call.I would definitely not limp ever ever!!!! In the sit-n gos I wait for a semi decent hand or a possible steal move on the blinds with a marginal hand.Usually people get Ko'd right off the bat though and helps make placing that much easier. |

| I have to agree that push fold is the only method of it working. I like to use the micro buy ins to let my frustrations out so I don't tilt and/or waste my money playing donkish in higher games. It really helps me a lot with my BR management and helps me to be more patient when it counts. I really like to play large field mtts which I believe is a very patient art. |

| I actually builded a bankroll from 11$ (rakeback) to 160$ dollars Just playing different Superturbos. What i focused on when doing this was mostly in matrix SnGs, when i got up to around 60$. I was building pretty good did everything right for lets say 4 days maybe ONLY playing Supturbos. Then the 5th day or something i made a big mistake which i seem to do as soon as i get something going which im trying to improve everyday that is Moving up in limits TOO fast.. This was my downfall at this "adventure" now i mix them up when i play but cant seem to be that profitable by them no more. Although they are FUNNY really great build whit the blinds raises etc by full tilt! |

If you obtain the same cash distribution (for example, 40% 1st, 40% 2nd, 30% 3rd) for different STTs with the same prize distribution, your variance will be the same regardless of the format so the fact that you are playing a super turbo does not mean that you need a bigger roll by itself. Quote:

| these are for degenerates and people who have money. strategy= push your good hands to the max. if you are lucky enough to get 10-20 BB at some point you can play poker, then if you ever are back below 10 BB or so its back to push/fold raiseaments/foldaments. |

if you really think there's that much difference between regular SNGs, turbos and super-turbos, you just don't play them very well. There's only marginally more skill involved in regulars than in super turbos. So if you what you mean is that SNGs are for generates and real poker players play deep stack cash games, then we can agree. Otherwise, you're just stating that you're not a very good SNG player to begin with. |

P.S. to the op it is a luck -push fest lotto for the most part but there is skill in the calling an pushing ranges |

the skills required to beat the different SNG speeds are essentially the same. super turbos do have more variance than the turbos, and those have more variance than the regulars, but the games are really not that different strategy-wise. |

Also, as I stated before, the fact that games are super turbos has nothing to do with increased variance. If someone has the exact same cashing distribution in a super turbo as a normal SnG, they will have the same amount of variance. By saying that variance is higher in super turbos, you are essentially implying that there is a greater skill edge in normal SnGs than super turbos. |

| Belgo maybe I didn't make an intelligent enough post. at the start sure you have 10-20 BBs, but that rapidly deteriorates. if you get a hand good enough to push with you'll do okay, but it's very easy to end up pushing a marginal hand in order to try to steal a pot/get lucky and double up when your M gets low. A good player over the long run could show a profit in these against worse opponents (and in these $3-$10 buy-in games there would be less knowledgeable opponents around), But the variance is high like was said, and you need a large BR for this reason. The reason I said it's for degenerates and the rich is because of the high variance factor. Also I'm used to watching the > $100 buy-in Super Turbos (to play this you need to be rich in my opinion or okay with losing ^ $100 in a few minutes). and the degenerates who see it as a win big quick thing make it profitable in the long run for good/great players. Maybe this post is more agreeable to you, I put more thought and explanation into it. |

People who think that way either underestimate the strategy involved in playing super turbos or the variance that one experiences when you play regular or turbo SNGs at mid or high stakes. I think you have a pretty clear idea about these, btw. But most other people in this thread don't. |

| re: Super Turbo's on Fulltilt poker I think they are very hard to cash in because you gotta get lucky early and get dealt a good hand with no one else having a better one to call... they are tough to me... just dont like pushing all in.. seems like they are complete luck |
