This sng's where u start with 300 chips and blinds go up every 3 minutes.

Any system to run too? Or pray u get lucky?

Been watching loads of them... Seem like loads of fish play them. Just thinking of a good source of income maybe.

Anybody play them?

ICM push/fold. lol-easy at micro-stakes. Not sure it's beatable at high stakes without good table selection.

quoted for truth. a good push/fold strategy will work wonders but you need to be careful about your bankroll. It's higher varience and I would assume 60buy-in is a must.

I didn't know these existed til I saw a guy mention them. He was 4 tabling the 3.50 + .30$ ones and from the looks of it he was doing pretty well and turning a profit. I'm really tempted to try them out. If you try them out let me know how it goes.

Donkfest, but tons of fun if you can play them WELL within your BR.
These games are NOT a way to build a bankroll, just a way to blow off a bit of steam and maybe win a few dollars with some luck. The $3.50 games are cheap enough to have a laugh with, the $7.50 gets a bit more serious.
Check out the high stakes ones, I think they are $169. Usually a couple of pro's messing about in them.

This definitely calls for opening up your range and playing a bit more loose PF. Wait for a nut flop to push and double on opponents imo. Playing tight in this type of tournament is simply going to cause you to get eaten alive by blinds.

There has to be an optimal way to play these, despite the seemingly insane format. Does anyone have examples of a player on sharkscope or similar with long-term solid results in this format (matching or exceeding traditional SNG or Turbo SNG results)?

This:
ICM push/fold. lol-easy at micro-stakes. Not sure it's beatable at high stakes without good table selection.

If you don't know what ICM is, just google it. It's basically a push/fold concept that takes into account your hand strength and other people's propensity to call based on their hand strength. It is widely considered the best form of analyzing many late game sit n go situations. Also, consider looking into the 30 day trial for SnGWizard.

Just scope some of the regs. I played a few while I was waiting for my normal games to unreg-infest themselves. They are definitely beatable at the lower limits.

Love em

I play these almost everytime they come up,if I have the money.I am referring to the MTT ones however.A few times I made some deep runs.The only strategy there is would be a Push/Fold.I refuse to push in early position with anything less than A 10,simply because any PP is going to call.I would definitely not limp ever ever!!!! In the sit-n gos I wait for a semi decent hand or a possible steal move on the blinds with a marginal hand.Usually people get Ko'd right off the bat though and helps make placing that much easier.

at the high stakes the players seem to get better, high as in 50 and 100. But I agree with spacemiu, you need a big bankroll for these, it's how I lost my money on FT.

these sng's even out the skill in the game, push and fold. even if u break even on these games, you may find alot your money going to ft. everytime you pass the money around, ft takes a piece.

I have to agree that push fold is the only method of it working. I like to use the micro buy ins to let my frustrations out so I don't tilt and/or waste my money playing donkish in higher games. It really helps me a lot with my BR management and helps me to be more patient when it counts. I really like to play large field mtts which I believe is a very patient art.

I actually builded a bankroll from 11$ (rakeback) to 160$ dollars Just playing different Superturbos.
What i focused on when doing this was mostly in matrix SnGs, when i got up to around 60$. I was building pretty good did everything right for lets say 4 days maybe ONLY playing Supturbos. Then the 5th day or something i made a big mistake which i seem to do as soon as i get something going which im trying to improve everyday that is Moving up in limits TOO fast.. This was my downfall at this "adventure" now i mix them up when i play but cant seem to be that profitable by them no more. :(

Although they are FUNNY really great build whit the blinds raises etc by
full tilt

Variance is a function of the probabilities of making each different cash. Thus, even within super turbo's, you need a larger bankroll to play a "aim for first" strategy compared to a "squeak into third" strategy assuming that you can obtain the same RIO using both strategies. Variance in these games is said to be higher because it is harder to obtain an extremely high RIO in these games.

If you obtain the same cash distribution (for example, 40% 1st, 40% 2nd, 30% 3rd) for different STTs with the same prize distribution, your variance will be the same regardless of the format so the fact that you are playing a super turbo does not mean that you need a bigger roll by itself.

these sng's even out the skill in the game, push and fold. even if u break even on these games, you may find alot your money going to ft. everytime you pass the money around, ft takes a piece.

At the low stakes, these are easily crush-able including the rake.

Play enough (~20) and it's harder to not win if you remotely know what you're doing due to pure variance.

Variance...? Otherwise you incorrectly changed your game during your downswing because you thought you were doing something wrong and are no longer playing a winning game.

I've never seen a matrix super-turbo. Do they actually run these or have you confused the super turbo's for standard Turbo's?

these are for degenerates and people who have money.
strategy= push your good hands to the max.
if you are lucky enough to get 10-20 BB at some point you can play poker,
then if you ever are back below 10 BB or so its back to push/fold raiseaments/foldaments.

lol.

if you really think there's that much difference between regular SNGs, turbos and super-turbos, you just don't play them very well. There's only marginally more skill involved in regulars than in super turbos.

So if you what you mean is that SNGs are for generates and real poker players play deep stack cash games, then we can agree. Otherwise, you're just stating that you're not a very good SNG player to begin with.

This is showing your lack of experience of sng.It is a huge gap between turbo sng's an hyper-super whatever you want to call them.The pushing range from the very start of it is wide open from any an all postions at any bi levels in a turbo it is limited untill blinds go up to about 100-200 for the same pushing ranges.I'm not tring to disprove that in some subjects you might know more than me.But in this one i disagree with you an i will say my stats vs yours might say i know more on this subject than you.

P.S. to the op it is a luck -push fest lotto for the most part but there is skill in the calling an pushing ranges
