The usual strategy. In the early stages play tight. Do not be afraid to turbo mode

Not sure how tight you can play as its HyperTurbo only 500 starting chips and 1st level is 25/50 with 10 ante. Looks like a crapshoot.

I know Pokerstars are trying to cater for the micro players, but I thought the point of pokersites was to suggest the game is more skill than luck whereas these kind of games give more credence to the ones who says its pure luck :))

I just played one (finished 4th, with 4 KO's). You're basically shoving if you're going to see a flop so you'll find people shoving fairly tight unless they're REALLY crippled, like I was in my bustout hand (I had 82). I had 1 bb left after posting.

While you can look at it that way, there is so element of skill in there too, that those who are shoving optimally gives themselves the best chance to succeed long-term.

I don't think I'll play this variant very much, but it's definitely a hyper action game.

Sure there is some skill but when the rake is getting close to 14% would find it very hard to make any money playing these. Only reason I played them was because there was a Pokerstars Challenge and also you can get 5 Free $1 tickets with a deposit using code KOPOKER2016

Summary you will need a massive edge to make it worthwhile

I don't think anybody is making money playing those games except for Amaya. :)

I don't think anybody will ever have any significant edge in this game. It will be interesting to see if this game variant lasts or if it will be here for a little while and then fade away. I don't see myself playing these often/if at all.

I think it is just a game of luck( I mean this type of tournaments), because you should just play push/fold.

Have a wide pushing range PF try to KO in first few hands if possible makes the rest of the sng a lot easier with ICM. Normally, first few players to get a KO will run deeper.
