Turbo Vs. Regular : General Poker Forum

I go back and forth on this. Sometimes I love the turbo sngo's, other times I hate them and only play the regular structure. I feel like play is so much looser in the turbo's so patience is rewarded. Then I take some sick beats and rotten bubble finishes that I feel wouldn't have happened in a regular structure. So what do you think? Are the turbos more of a gamble? What do you think?

Yes, turbos are definitely a gamble. If you don't take anything in the first few minutes, then the blinds are up already and you won't want to call with decent cards. You wait only for the premium ones. And if you don't get premium cards fast, your chip stacks erodes pretty fast. Personally, I hate turbos! It's more of a lottery than poker.

I prefer regular sng's, sometimes I like to play one or two turbo games, but not all. I think if you get lucky you'll win that, but if you don't get good cards fast, you will lose. Also, Turbo isn't as bad as Super Turbo...

I like super turbos because I like to gamble. In the first minutes if I get an Ace and the second card is higher than 10 - I'm all in. Personally, almost all the times I win like that... and lose by high card ranking. Also I play and with pairs 10 or higher there.

SuperTurbo is not about poker skills.
It's about luck!

Good idea. To check your luck ^_^ Like famous poker world person said :
"so, you like to gamble, yeah? ^_^ " I think those words best describe turbo s'n'g

Today I played 1 regular game and finished 5 or 6. Another game was turbo because I didn't have time, so I won 3 hands all-in in a row, but then had to leave

I always plays Turbo or Super Turbo. For Super Turbo you must have special tactics

I hate Turbos and never play them because this is not a real poker. When playing Turbos you can't show your reall skills

I played a qualifier , don't remember the room . Everybody started with 10 chips and the blinds raised fast , all in or out . It was all about choosing the best hand out of 8 . That's Super Super Turbo

Regulars are too slow sometimes , but I play both speed and regular Sng's .

Regulars must be slow as you are playing several hours, but if you finish in good place will take very good prize.

I was playing Turbo because regular are too slow for me.. very boring :rolleyes: I recently started playing Super Turbo 2-5$ SnG and it's going well

I like all tournaments, athough regular tournaments can be a bit boring because it takes a lot more time to finish them, while playing turbo tournaments can earn a lot of quick cash (believe me there is skill in turbo tournaments). I also like superturbo on prima - those are very fun and easy to make it ITM.
