Turbos?

jakethebake · #1 11-01-2004, 10:44 AM

Just wondering whether many of you SNG pros play turbos vs. standard 1-table SNGs? Seems like it would help your hourly rate, but probably turn the game into more of a crap shoot? Which does anyone prefer and why? Thanks.

covered, covered and covered some more.

you dont even need to do a search (although it will throw up lots of threads), just go back a few pages and you should find a thread or two on this subject that was started in the last week or so.

Nothing personal, but next time anybody suggests the turbos might be, or are, a crap shoot, I'm going to shoot myself in the head.

Actually, next time anybody suggests any SNG format is a crapshoot ($109 on party, or whatever), I'm going to do the same.

As long as there are players who can and actually PLAY WORSE THAN YOU DO, it's not a crapshoot, never was and never will be. If you are constantly one of the weakest players at the table - then yes, it's probably a crapshoot, or even worse than a crapshoot.

(Somebody willing to compare crapshooting and playing SNG as the worst player at the table? I wonder which is lower EV... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])

Edit: OK, there could be situations where you are better than 1-2 players, and your ROI is still negative (if the others are hypothetically still much stronger than you). The point is - the diferences are normally not that huge, so being able to play better than some of your opponents, should be enough for at least a positive return.

Don't do it, it's not worth it. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

PS Turbos are the best and not a crap shoot at all, in fact just the opposite.

Yes, coming to think about it, I guess you're right.

But for a second I really felt like doing it! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I wasn't suggesting it. I was just asking the question because others have suggested it.
