Pretty good article. Very informative. Sorry, this went longer than I presumed....but eh..
I prefer the $6 turbo single table sngs. The article states that turbos require a lot more luck, rather than skill. I disagree for single table sngs. Maybe a larger field turbo mtt would require more luck, b/c you have to survive a long time, but it also still forces you to gamble, or get blinded out. Theres not much time to wait before you need to push your chips in the middle, with, or without the hand you want to do it with.. unless of course you get good cards right in the beginning, but we all know, THAT doesnt happen every time!!
With a single table turbo however, it's combines the perfect mix between, # of entrants, and blind interval structure. While its a very short game to complete, it does give you the opportunity to wait for your one, maybe two big hands you'll receive to double up with. Often after one double up, I will have more than enough chips to coast into the top 3 by just stealing blinds once in a while. The other players will play looser, and wind up close to being on the rail early, and have to push with a mediocre hand. This happens very often, and alot of the time, I can just sit back and watch them take each other out, while I examine their moves, and get ideas about how each one plays. Remember the game will not take long, usually no longer than an hour. Its perfect.  |
