Can you imagine sitting at a table, throwing in your twenty bucks for a sit and go only to find out that you have signed up for something that isn't poker and takes no more skill than calling heads or tails. . 300 chips, two minute rounds, no reserve clock, you have seconds to act and before you even get the button it's over. It wouldn't last a day in any card room in the country. The only reason that one of the online poker rooms has come up with this rediculous game is for the supersonic rake it offers. Is there anyone out there that finds this appealing and if so why? I love to "play" poker, if winning and losing as fast as I can is all I wanted I would head to the black jack tables. I just don't get it.

These games are skill over a large sample size.

What kind of messed up room it must be to offer such non sense, lol. Also, don't you want to read a little about the weird SNG you are throwing $20 to?

Sample size.....

There is no sample size because people don't play this game more than once, and there are only a few that would do that. I hate to say it but my favorite place to play, out of my limited choices here in California, is Carbon Poker. I love variety and action and they have both. Unfortunately it is Carbon that is responsible for this insult to the game of poker and they are doing it to cover up their lack of a VIP progam and no promotions to speak of. I wrote to every person that I could at carbon and asked if they are really as broke as this promotion has led me to believe...

I have already played 50 lol. They are essentially winner takes all hyper turbos and after playing these 50 I have already defined my shove/fold and call off ranges from each table position for each and every blind level. People shove and call off too wide and for an average decent hyper turbo player these games are a cakewalk.

I am glad to hear it

I am obviously feeling a little jaded when it comes to Carbon. They didn't start these games up for people like you, it's for the people you are beating and Carbon is counting on those suckers.. I truely am happy to hear that you are using your brain and taking advantage of the product to profit. I have played full time for over 15 years and in my opinion Supersonic Sit and Go is not poker. I will say that it's only my view and my view wont get me to sit down at that game. You on ther hand sound like you have done your homework, and if it is consistanly a winning proposition then I hope they keep it going and you make a killing..

as long as you have a decent shove/fold chart there is money to be made over the long term

always not good idea to play this Sonic speed game
there is only tiny edge on it
besides because of the tiny edge, it comes nothing but large variance.

it is generally not good idea to play sonic speed sit n go for the sake of edge created/or may be created.

think about that
1 hand all in
there is not that big different between pro or fish
but
1000 hands play
there is big gap between pro and fish

sonic game is more like that 1 hand all in situation.

Like I said this game is developed by the house for the house. The more even the the odds the more the players have to play to win. More games equals more money for the house. It's not poker.

It seems like the only "skill" involved in a game with such short stacks and quick blind levels is choosing which hand to go all-in with. Honestly though, there definitely isn't even enough time to allow for the ideal pre-flop shove anyways. There is no way I would play one of these, there is just way too much luck involved.
