Why to wait for something which may not even come? Wouldnt it better to make good use of cards you currently have
I'd imagine one key element in turbo games would be to not let yourself bother too much about (very) fast blind structure which makes it kinda strange seeing every once in a while how certain cardchatters are automatically losing their mind whenever they are forced to see turbo games (and/or play them) ...

the key is to play more aggresively than regular tournament because since the blinds increase very fast you dont have much time to wait for premium hands. take more risk and try to build a good stack early on the tournament that will make you play more confortably in the middle and late stages of the tournament.

the key is learning push or fold strategy. Often you will play on ~20bbs and it's important to know shove, re-shoves and calling ranges. You can learn it with programms like icmizer or hrc and your expierence. Not an easy stuff and requires a lot of work.

Study the push fold range, you will be most of the time in this shorty stack situation due to the structure. And even when you are with the medium or large stack, take into account the effective stack of the table, and adjust your range by the effective stack .

I agree with a more aggressive game than in regular tournaments, but you don't need to lose your head with different connectors in tribets. An aggressive but neat game with an assessment of the game of your opponents at the table.

you will need to break away from opponents with the best cards as quickly as possible to take risks in order to increase your stake, I think this strategy will be correct because the game will be fast and the faster you break away from opponents, the better it will be for you to fight against ante

I can't stand any type of turbo especially tournaments (My Days!!) You say wait for the hands but they may never come. Someone replied to you on here saying just find a way to play with what you have but why i hate turbo touneys is because everyone just goes all-in every hand and no poker gets played. So you can't play with what you have because you make a call pre-flop or a slight raise and they go all-in. It's just down to luck it's poker for idiots imo. Relying on lady luck and all-ins ain't my kind of poker. If it's for you then fair enough but NOT for me. I prefer regular speed.

I don't know how to help you, I also don't know a good strategy to play this type of tournament, I usually play regularly, even for the time of action, because I need to think and I like to have more time.

As others have said, the key to success in turbos is to get really good at playing with a short stack. Short stacked play also excist in tournaments with regular speed blinds, but it is far more common in turbos.

I started playing poker with turbo formats, whether it's sit end go, spin end go or tournament, I don't like the game with deep blinds, everyone has their own taste, if you can't play in this format, don't play, but don't write insults that this is a game for idiots, it's ugly, and the topic of the post is "HOW TO PLAY A TURBO TOURNAMENT", if there is nothing to answer, then it's better to keep silent than to write any nonsense off topic

preferred over regular speed as hard to find the hours to play for 10 or 12 hours. That said, risk is required earlier as you must try to build a stack. If you get down, your only hope is to catch a couple of quick ddouble ups as you push your short stack all in,,,

Things said about knowing how to play short stack are of course right and most common way of dealing with turbos.
The other way is to treat them not as separate events, but as a continuous play. Keeping some tight range, allowing yourself to bleed out waiting for cards, less ITM. You need some volume for this, though, and turbos would need to have good payout structure. In todays environment it's uncommon, so I would stick to first option.
