Does anyone else hate that you play great all game to get to heads up only to have to go all in w/ Q7 vs K3? Seems like sometimes the blinds are so high and there's only 15K chips in play and you have to make your move with these hands.

if this bothers you, i'd say turbos are not for you.

That's just how turbos are, some people actually like it a lot because

A) They believe they have a larger edge
B) It's an adrenaline rush

I love it because many other players don't understand this concept, which gives me an edge.

OP.

It sounds like poker is not for you, lol!

I like it b/c that means my decision is either push/fold and then I go make the same decision at 7 other tables

Okay i think you got the wrong impression or my post came out wrong.. I love SNG's too, its just that w/ turbos i think you can play well all game and then when it comes to heads up its a crapshoot.. Didn't mean for the post to sound whiney.

Then why play the turbos if you don't like them?

I don't tend to think it's a crapshoot HU. Even with high blinds, mix in a strategic limp w/ a monster or an occasional mercy fold in the SB. Obviously you don't want to miss huge +EV pushes every SB, but that doesn't mean you can't play a bit differently to help yourself win. Not to mention it may seem like a crapshoot over a short period of time, but you should be pulling out a decent edge even if it seemingly looks ugly during a bad run.
