What do you do in super turbos?? Most people play very loose and thats were u catch them out....But alot of the time you can get unlucky and loose to a muck weaker hand!!!

Super turbos are basically pure gambling unless you get a lot of good cards.
Not really poker in my opinion so i would only play them if they were free and I couldn't find a proper game to play! on the plus side at least they're quick!

As for what you do... simple... cross your fingers and hope you're lucky! Good luck if you're playing these.

I used to play a lot of super turbo s'n'g at ipoker network (cd, titan etc) and think that they are quite cool, yes its like a game of chance most of the time.. but if u can sit back and wait a hand or two you will find most of the time that 3-4 players are gone - i used to play the 6 handed ones where 2 ppl got paid and most of the time used to cash in them so made a few dollars profit each time... then after cashing and making a bit of profit in the lower buyins i would go up a level and try cash in that too... Not played any in long time tho as havent cashed in one for while so have gave up on them

The SnG super turbos can be fun and it can be quite profitable to just sit back and play quite tight for a few hands while the others fight it out, but the MTTs are just not for me I think they end up just like a game of bingo after the first few levels.

I don't like super turbos, as poker skills are not really of a help with this kind of tournies it's rather like playing bingo, the same applies to one hand tournies.

At super turbos there isn't a lot of poker...it's like you're playing roulette...

A good tactic at Super Turbos is to stall your hand, wait as long as possible, so the blinds go up for everyone else, forcing them to push with marginal hands. Just gotta hope by the time the blinds reach you, you get a good hand, lol!

Super Turbos are fun to play, but it's almost gambling. There isn't much skill involved, and you need to have a really good luck when the blinds increase.

I don't play it much, but when I do, I try to play only the best hands, and mainly the ones when the blinds are 150/300 and so on.

Anyway, the chances of losing with good hands decrease when you play "Turbo" (and not "Super Turbo"), because there are not as many all ins as in Super Turbo tables.

You also have to know how to steal blinds, cause it's really helpful in these kinds of tournaments.

Faster structures increase the importance of the cards you happen to catch and the luck factor overall, which means, of course, that if you have a skill advantage, it becomes less important. Of course, if you have a skill disadvantage, then turbos are good for you. In either case, you have to be prepared for higher variance, both positive and negative.

I've tried to play super turbo SnG but I found out I just hate them, people just gamble and only the luckiest one survives..
I agree with those who say it isn't real poker, when you play poker you need time to think about what to do and to figure out what is going on and guess what the other players have in mind
