Mostly, I do not usually take part in such competitions. I prefer the slower races (normal, deep stack), but such tournaments are also very useful, good practice for the late phase, and yes Ax cards are very strong in these situations.

I love the hyper turbos, yes a lot of the time you go all in a lot because the blinds go up so fast you are never really deep stacked. Just knowing when to shove and steal blinds, or to play out a hand. I won't a 1400 runner $7.50 hyper today and I had to win some flips but I do wel in hypers from studying the game

I’ll still start off relatively tight, then loosen my play is required. With hyper turbo tournaments, you do need to get it all in at the right time, so top pair and two pair go up in value. You need to be careful that you know what your opponents to your left are going to do. If you have someone who will just shove with ace high, then you need to be sure that you can follow them in.

Very tricky tournament because it is summarize at least at the beginning by push or fold situations , I generally wait for the good spot with very good hand and shove or trap if the table is a bit frenzy ,but even like this when 2 or tree people call you you need to prey ) even with aces
after later in the tournament I open my range but not so much because and try to concentrate on the short stack

If you are very comfortable with your short stack game and don't mind massive swings these can be a lot of fun.
If you don't win your flips you won't have to worry about playing very long either.
Best of luck!

There are some Pro's who make a living playing these. It all depends on your style, and you preference. I was given a set-of-starting hands requirements, for hypers, and it makes interesting reading. I will put the top row of it on here, and you must remember, that these hands have been tested, and the person in question makes a profit, by continually playing these, of course, if you veer from it, your results will be different.
Take time and look through it, bearing in mind, the list above is only when you have the equivalent of 1BB and what position you are in.

i would avoid hyper turbos until i fully understood my ranges and was able to snap push/fold without thinking, and without making an ICM error.

Main goal is to take care of maintaining the stack and as efficiently as possible to take advantage of late position. Next the strategy chosen, focusing on the size of the stack. The final table of a turbo tournament is completely different from the classical MTT, which offers online poker. Pressure blind reaches its climax, the participants with large pile of "push" features, so it is advisable to return to the tight tactics and try to narrow down the range of hands. With a short stack it is important to keep track of time, make quick decisions on the blind.But if you come to a large neverage to someone, and time can be hauled to provoke the player to solve the short-stack at the oll-in.

Hyper turbos are great when you're short on time. Like in any other tournaments, the blinds start out small so when the blinds are small, I try to get into flops and take down the pot to get a chip lead. As the tournament progresses and the blinds go up, I hope I have the chip lead to somewhat control the pre flop action.

For those types of tournaments, its all about luck simply because everyone is shoving on mediocre cards.
I recommend trying to shove on face cards and aces.

I like a hyper-turbo tournament when I just want to play a quick game. Yes, there's a lot of all-ins and it does seem to resemble a bingo game at times but I think you could still gain an advantage by playing some good solid poker. It's not always possible to participate in a 6 hour marathon.

Playing in these kinds of tournaments can be difficult but with this one's you definitely need to have luck as you may even play hands you normally don't. But pressure is on and have to play hands you don't normally.
