The pace of a tournament changes the whole strategy.
Which format do you enjoy the most and why?
Do you adjust your ranges a lot depending on the structure?

The smoother the structure, the fewer complex decisions there are, the faster the variance, the more the variance the game is more like a casino

I prefer to play quickly…too many players tank for no reason other than annoying the other players.

I prefer Regular, because it's more natural without a hurry. I can observe the table, the players and adjust my strategies in a logical way.

I really enjoy playing turbo tournaments; for me, it's the best game, where the time limit is ideal for staying very focused.

Turbo is my cup of tea for sure, pace is enough not to fall asleep but still allows to play your edge ;)

I prefer regular tournaments; they suit my playing style. But I don't stop playing in other tournaments either.

I like fast-format tournaments, with a structure of 3 minutes or 5 minutes maximum, where all-in or fold situations are constant. You need to have the ranges for opening and calling all-ins very well studied. Likewise, the 3-bet ranges for late-stealing positions.

8 handed and 8 minute blind raise tournaments is the best for me.
