OMG THE MOD AGREES I MUST BE RIGHT!

Seriously though, I'm encouraged that Durron agrees in most cases, and I think this topic is worth exploring further. As I stated in an above post, these low buy-in turbos are rather unique, in that the first level or two offers tremendous implied odds due to the reckless play.

I think people avoid these hands for a couple reasons. One is that they, assuming the typical turbo, are entirely dependent on postflop skill as to whether or not they are +EV or not. Another is that since they are only slightly +EV(if at all), they may be worth passing up if you gain increased attention on other tables. I think a lot of multitablers pass up these marginal limps simply so they don't have to click so much.

I also think it's +EV for your image to bust donks with these hands. If you're not careful you can quickly get carried away, but these speculative hands are a blast to play, a heck of a lot more entertaining than Robomonkey poker.
