Re: Turbo S+G\'s Safe bet or fun way to gamble?

I think in general the longer the blinds remain small in relation to the starting stack size, the bigger the advantage is to the better players. It's almost common sense.

True.
The more chips you have, the greater the advantage to the good player.
I just don't think that small starting stacks negate the ability of the good player.
The ability to play well with a short stack, will, in the long run, help increase your profitability in playing SnG's.
The quick blinds can give an advantage over someone who's "luck is running good", but if you are good with a short stack, you can overcome some deficits to make it ITM enough to make your $/hr better than starting with deeper stacks.
Or make it close enough that it doesn't matter.
It also helps your abiliity to make it ITM in MTT's because you have so much experience playing the short stack.
