Tell me on what strategy to play turbo tournaments? The blinds grow every 3 minutes. It turns out almost every new distribution is the increase of the blind. If you wait for a good hand, you spend all of the stack. Play any hand - lose. Does it turn out that turbo tournaments are just luck?

Most likely, it's like bingo than poker.
My strategy to play hyperturbo tournaments is basically all-in for good hands, such as ace
9 or higher or king 9 or higher. If doubled or tripled to play very tightly

In turbo tournaments it is quite possible to win, but in view of their transience, you will need a little more luck for this than in standard SnG tournaments. This is so, because most of the time you will play on the strategy of short stacks, and, therefore, most of the decisions you make will be in push-fold format.
In these tournaments there is not a lot of space for postflop games, and after a few first rounds you will almost not play post-flop, because by this time you will most likely be in All-In. In short, a good strategy for playing poker turbo tournaments will be a quality selection of starting hands and the right moments for all-in. It is not very pleasant to risk all of your chips so often, but this is the only way that can lead to success in games of this format.
Of course, you will have to feel all the delights of dispersion in these games, and therefore do not expect fast results after a couple of tournaments played. You will need to play a very large number of such games, in order to steadily win money, and therefore get used to fairly large fluctuations, if you decide to engage in playing turbo tournaments on a regular basis.

I have asked the same question to commentators of EPT final, they said, that it's only luck(i think it's about 888 freerols?)

You'll get used to them the more you play. It is a balancing act between staying ahead of the blinds and waiting for good hands.

To be successful you really have to put the time in to learn the range of hands you should be playing with each stack size from each position.

Take advantage of any chip making opportunities: re-raising loose players, stealing when first into the pot, and balancing this with value to keep your opponents off balance.

Watching Twitch streamers play turbo tournaments can help you get a better feel for these as well.

Good luck to you! :D

I think that by playing 10,000 hands in a turbo, you will realize that luck is bad here, and an experienced player wins more often

Well, I do the same. There are people who play all-in with any hand. Make roulette from poker

Well, in general, I agree with you. But often it happens that you go all-in with KAs and you win 29o. Offensively. I try to play such kinds of poker only on tickets freerolls

I've played turbo for a long time and I've already gotten used to the game's formula, you're right when it says it can be swallowed by the blinds, but in this type of game you should also agressive as other players are waiting for a great hand is still a good option.

Turbo is different from hyper-turbo. The one you're talking about is hyper, and frankly there's no big strategy. Push and get lucky. Hyper-turbo and Spins'Go is bingo.

In turbos it is more possible to play. Play only monster hands at the beginning to try to collect some chips. The secret of these tournaments is the bubble, which you will have to steal the blinds. And just before the bubble burst, you'll have to decide to push or fold; It is.

You often get a lot of all in's in the first few hands, if you don't have a big hand then wait for the initial implosion to slow down then start making plays.

Turbo tourneys are quite crazy early. That's why you need to use all your experience and try to win early at least 1 all-in so that you can start to play real poker after the all-inn rush. Usually after about 1 hour all things come back to normal. You can also try to play normal but if you get raised and got a good hand then you shove it all and hope for the best. At least this is what I do and sometimes works. Have a good one next time when you try.

'Turbo' is very different on certain sites. On 888 Turbo is VERY fast and 'normal' is what Turbo is on pokerstars. Which site/software are you referring to?

You need to play risky and fast, but if you play differently, there's no chance to win.

Learn about the Independent Chip Model (ICM). It's important when stacks are short and you are near the bubble. In Hyper Turbo SNGs, most of the play occurs under these conditions.
