why do the turbos have $5 extra buyin?

Presumably to give a little less rake per buy-in dollar.

Never bothered me, the registering ones are always at the top of the buy-in level and you can't join them all at the same time anyway. Have to wait until one fills up.

More people spite call more pushes because they see their big stack of 5000 and see your stack of 1200 and say "I Have 5k in chips it wont matter". Not that this doesn't happen on party, but it tends to happen more on PS in my experience. I tend to be more aggressive because of this though and it works. Once it gets to 200/400 each steal is so crucial, that you can easily take over an SNG and often win them because of it. 25/50 is annoying and it's always tempting to burn off chips but you can do a combination of limping with pairs and raising in position.
Further, you sometimes get caught in tricky positions where the blinds are about to go up, too much to push, but you don't want to raise yourself down to a point where you're going to below 8 or 9x for the next level and about to get blinded more. Once again, it happens on party, but more often because of the time and the quickness of everything going up. Catches you off guard. I tend to push 11xs every now & then because of this.
