What's the best way to play Turbos?

[Open The Can]

I really dont play many turbos, so i was wondering if anyone had any tips for me. I played a couple turbo satellites yesterday trying to get into the $1 turbo takedown on Pstars and all I saw was overbetting and all-in commandos. Even when I had KK, 5 people at my table went all-in and of course the person with 5-9 suited wins hitting runner runner for a boat. Any advice would be great,...thnx

My advice is "dont play them." Seriously. Turbos are horrible for your solid game playing strategy. Unless you have the ability to shift styles easily, you will find that your crappy "turbo" style will intrude on your regular game.....and that will only spell disaster.

But then, there are satellites set up as turbo, so in those cases....being overly aggressive with monster hands is the best strategy. And stay out of multi-player pots, even with monsters.....too big of likelihood for an outdraw.

Hmm, I agree and disagree. You do have to play it differently. But I LOVE turbos. Especially in rebuy games. Ever sit in a turbo rebuy and you have a crazy guy going allin all the time, and everyone calling him a donkey? Well thats someone like me. Its a strategy and it works great. Turbos are also good when you have limited time to play.

turbo's are great if your a fast thinker and good with math
yes there lots of racing

I've been known to fold amazingly strong hands late in position simply cause of the amount of all iners. example: I am SB, everyone goes all in before... i am holding AK-TT, I will fold and try to out play the winner of that hand, then try to get lucky against 5 other players

I also don't think i have played a turbo under $10

I only play turbo S&G (I hardly play any s&g's but if i play one, it is a turbo) and turbo's have more 'luck' involved. People are more likely to push, so it is harder to make plays.

But it can be good for your pokermath since you see a lot of allins. Coinflips, everything.

Ok, I'm going to give a few turbos a try and take all of the advice. Hopefully I'll do well. I'll let you all know how i do. OTC

I was fond of turbos game, specially Sit & Gos but after some times, I have no interest and prefer playing normal games unless if it's a satellite game.
