Hi, I didn't notice before, but those Jackpot sngs on Titan Poker are 7min blinds. Didn't they used to be 10mins?
I'm wondering how im supposed to survive, did they turn it into a turbo or something?

You have to play much more agressiv if the blindstructure raises faster!
Luck becomes much more important in this games.....

I would tell you to watch a turbo game... If no one raises before you, your on the button raise it, don't piss around, if they check it to on the flop, then you bet haft the pot, or the whole pot, if you are check raised let it go.

If you call 'knowing how to play shove/fold game in SNG's' "Luck", than I suppose it's important. I tend to feel that it's more about having a good shove/fold game which is essential when playing Turbo SNG's (any SNG's if the blinds get high enough as bubble is approaching).

When you're stack is getting smaller in relation to the blinds, don't open for a raise unless you're willing to go all the way with your hands.

7min. blinds aren't so bad,.... but it depends upon what increments the blinds are increasing by (Turbos on Fulltilt have 3min. blind level increases although I'm guessing they also have more levels).

If these games are what you're interested in playing, I'd suggest doing a bit of research on playing Turbos. Maybe try watching a couple of higher buyin Turbo games to get a better idea of how to play in them.

Yeah I guess 7 mins is still playable (not my preference tho, I thought they were 10 before?? I think they were 10), but for example if im trying to win or place in several in a row, its getting pretty hard since im seeing less hands, have to make tougher decisions on what i raise/push, and everyones in the same situation that they feel like 'omg i have to go allin at some point', so it just feels like a bit of mixed bag.

I'd usually avoid all jackpot sng's as they tend to have a much higher rake.
