Message: [QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 1264204, member: 33113"] As far as the comment above goes about 'better players' being able to wait for better hands (or however it was worded)... there are also ALOT of better players in the Turbo Sng's. They require a different skillset than regs. What I've come to know in my experience is.... most of the regulars who play SNG's (the guys who mulit-table and who do well in them) are actually playing the Turbos. Try running stats. on every single player on 10 turbo tables, compared with 10 reg. tables (check 'em out on PokerEdge too). You'll see that there are a larger percentage of winning players who play in the turbos. It is of crucial importance to understand ICM when playin the Turbos and to have a good shove/fold game once the blinds get high (which they inevitably do in the reg. speed ones eventually anyways.. not quite as high obviously but still high enough where it's usually a shove/fold game on the bubble or just prior to it. One of the reasons your results have improved so much might be because you spent some time playing turbos first. (I didn't look at your results.. I'm just going by what you've written). For myself, after having played strictly regular speed SNG's for around a year, I played mostly Turbos for about 3mos. (and did a bunch of research on Turbos prior). I found it helped my game out alot when I switched back to reg. speeds. For a good Sng player, their ROI will be higher if they're playing reg. speeds but their hourly winrate will probably be less (or about the same). Playing Turbos becomes much more robotic in nature once one gets familiar with the game, also allowing one the potential to play more tables. One thing I find I keep running into on the reg. speed SNG's is, depending upon the time of day and day of the week, the play will vary significantly. Early afternoon and very, very late at night (EST) are when the best players are on the tables and for me this is when I actually get the best results (early in the day the regulars are playing and very late at night is when the European grinders are playing). At the other times of the day, the $10's & $20's resemble the $2's (... I HATE the $2's, lol). [/QUOTE]
