Super Turbos at Full Tilt now at $1.50 buy-in

[LizzyJ]

FT has opened up the Super Turbos to $1.50. In other words, the Super Lottery has been opened up to the masses! Let the super, massive variance swings and re-loads begin !!!!!!!

just another way for Full tilt to crack Mini Bank rolls imo.. .50 fee is crazy....U wont find me in there

Sorry its 1.70 with a .20 fee.. Still think its another way to crack mini brolls...

 

[LizzyJ]

People are going to experience the term 'variance' first hand.

 

[sharkyo01]

Yeah and i'm making a mint from them

It's not a lottery at all!!

Says the crazy man... LOL . U might be winning them if ur not jk but they are defenitely a crap shoot. especially at a $1.70. U couldnt convince me other wise

Well there is a system to playing them ... Check out my post in the SNG thread... My ROI is 50%

 

[PlayedYou73]

i typically play 3.50/7 dollar ones and i can attest to the fact there 'is' a system/method to playing them

they can be profitable...but it requires a 'really' good understanding of hand rankings, the power of position, and have a relative understanding of icm (independent chip modelling). You also have to be willing to fold QQ KK preflop if you see a 3-4 way all-in

Sample size though.... Like Lizzy says, gonna be super high variance

 

[sharkyo01]

Mmmm I'm still running good ... And played a good 50 of them!!

Let us know how you do after about 700 of them. I don't have anything against super turbos, I think they should be used every so often, not as your bread and butter. You can have all the strategy in the world, but I know from experience not finishing ITM 20-25 straight isn't uncommon. You are playing two card, pre-flop poker, in that regard you can learn something (I did), I also learned how AJ and AQ are really, bad hands when you push all in. You can also learn how A-rag is a really, REALLY bad hand. You can also learn how to control tilt, since being sucked out on and having your hand lose when your opponent hits their 5% 'er. If you haven't experienced it....don't worry, you will !!!!

Great another addiction!!!

 

[LizzyJ]

it's like a slot machine. LOL. hit 'all in' if you lose, FT prompts you 'would you like to play another?' and your so upset that your KK got cracked by 7-2 that you play another one! Then your QQ got cracked by 99 when they flop quads. *oh crap*....play another. Your AA got cracked when someone has 74 and flops a straight. *oh crap*....play another. etc. etc. etc.

 

[lektrikguy]

I like them. Usually first hand you get someone all in with Q 7 offsuit. Hang back and wait for a pocket pair. It'll usually beat anything they're all in with.

Ive tried a few of these and the competition seems very soft, this is a great way to clear the holiday bonus I think,just have to have a little patience and a good understanding of pot odds and you can clean up against the A rag and Q J off alliners. Oh by the way i think i figured out my message problem had quotes on I think.Cant wait for the mini F T O P S. Good luck to all and happy holidays!!!

 

[coolnout]

Cool. Will have to get around to trying these finally.

I totally agree Cheermom. Ive cleared another 70 of my bonus playing these games. When I find a guy who will stay and trade punches with you, game for game, you can rack up the points very fast. The caution is minding that your winnings are greater than the rake paid.

 

[CAMurray]

i will never play in this tourney. the number of donks playing tournaments turbo low stakes is too big.

Thats like refusing to use ATMs because their just too damn convenient.

:heeeellll .

If you think these super turbos are crazy you should see Kamikaze on sportsbook, pay your money and sit and watch to see if you win, everybody is all in every hand

Now those are tournaments for stupid people - zero input by the player means in the long run everybody's cards are going to even out and everybody can expect to cash the same number of times, so everybody loses to the rake.
