Do You Play Turbo Tournaments?

Turbo Poker Tournaments are great if you don't like the pain of sitting for four hours or more at freerolls or regular tournaments. The blinds are fast and furious and the action is frantic!

So, basically all the poker rooms I played, offer turbo tournaments where the blinds are raised more often than in regular tournaments. Do you play such tournaments? What are your experiences?

$6+0.5 18-45 players (turbo) at PokerStars
Blinds are growing not so fast as in Microgaming net (Prima Poker).

i play turbos all the time - fast, easy , less painfull ( if u play lower limits ).
but only : 1. satelites to other bigger turneys ( buy in up to 30 $) normally blind levels would be 5 min,- why would i wanna waist my time playing freezout structure satelites...

2. headsup turbo matches. my favourite would be 50 and 100 $...also - dont wanna waist time playing normal headsup matches with normal stucture, coz i believe u can only play 1 ( maybe 2) at same time, and i usualy choose this turnament as a side game while playing 1 bigger multi turnament.

I don't play any turbo tournaments. I don't think its real poker. Yes, it takes more time to finish one regular tournament than a turbo tourney but there is a huge difference in the game. You will see less all-ins and more play in a regular tournament than in a turbo.
