Yeah, I have been having success with them after playing them again the last 4 or 5 weeks on
888 - the 6-handed superturbos. 500 chip starting stack, blinds begin at 10/20 but move up every 2 or 3 mins or something crazy like that.
For me, they are more like a fun 15 or 20 minute diversion from grinding cash games online or live. Or from playing live tournaments. (Lately, haven't been playing online MTTs anywhere near as much)
Oops! Sorry the below is a bit of brain blurt - but the general strategy that has been working lately for me is:
Standard good tight aggressive play early on, try not to commit too much pre-flop w/out big pairs, be happy to fold garbage continuously - even in middle blind levels, as things progress often raise less than all in (like maybe pot size or 3/4 pot pre-flop) with strong
hands or speculative hands that you don't mind a fold to, then confuse your opponents sometimes w/ all-in raises preflop to balance that tendency - again with a balanced range such as both QQ/KK or A4s / Q10s, look for occasional spots to steal/
bluff based often on your player or situational read, in other words play your standard strong post-flop game, stay tight-ish even mid to late stages as you keep looking for good spots - eg - when shorter stacks push in what clearly feels like marginal places for them, don't worry too much even if you're not the biggest or second biggest stack in the middle stages as you will watch your opponents knock each-other out as you get closer to the money, open up a little 3-handed, and a lot 2-handed when you are in the money and heads-up. Here clearly is when you will naturally see what looks like a game of face-card all-in battles, but there are still plenty of spots to be selective - eg - K7o, Q6s, A5o - along with small to med pocket pairs - are all potentially strong hands heads up at the end of these turbo SnGs. Again, especially at the end 2 or 3-handed don't stick to an all-in or fold script - mix it up by limping better hands on occasion, going all-in pre, and min-raising or 2.5 x BB raising when heads-up. Keep 'em guessing, appear looser than you are, and let the
equity of your holdings keep you winning over at least the medium term if not short term.
If I had to sum that all up, I'd say I consider the actual equity of my holdings against the perceived range of my opponents the most important factor.
Of course, I haven't included all factors, but this general approach including plenty of concentration when playing them I have found to work well in my latest go at these on 888 - at the $2.75, $5 and $10 buy-in levels. I can't speak about the $20 and $40 buy in levels, maybe a much diff strategy is required there.
