I've been around this board for awhile now and noticed that it is a common beleif that turbo tournaments require more luck than other tourneys. I totally disagree with this statement and here's why:
Turbo tourneys definately different than regular tourneys and require a different skill set.
They put an emphasis on strong preflop play rather than post flop play because of the fast blind increases. Many people beleive that because of this, turbo's are all luck. They don't realize that they have to adapt their game for the different structure.
Playing 2 $3.25 45 man turbo S&G's at a time, over my last 100 or so games I have a ROI of about 50%. I know it not a huge sample, but I think it shows that these tournaments aren't just luck.
I just wanted to get that information across because I am tired of hearing about turbos being all luck.
