I am having fun with these at the 3.50 stake. I def think they are beatable and after playing 10 or 20 of them in a row and then moving to a normal speed tourney or SNG it feels like the game is in slow motion.

I think it will be great for working on your shortstack/final table play when u reach something where the money reall matters. And they could also be very profitable given that you can play twice as many in a day as your normal SNG grind. I am gonna need to play about 500 more to find out :p

One thing I have noticed so far though is you can lose alot fast even with the best cards. I had AA cracked in the first 10 hands 3 times already last night, also knocked out with QQ vs 2 callers both holding AK, hit the A on me, KK got me railed 2 times but its odd these were both later game. And I have also gone out with AK and AQ vs and A rag 3 times.

Thats just from my last session of around 20+ of them.

I played a few hours on Super Turbo yesterday on 14$ +1$ and like you said dcdoorknob, FTP when up really fast. And the most of it is that STurbo last about 20-25 min. Obviously, I think that Super Turbo is alot more fun than regular Turbo SnG Razz

Cheers

I'm giving serious consideration to quitting work, and 8-Tabling $7.50 super-turbos for 8 hours a day instead.

These are great. No more MTTs for me.

I'm going to play either 12 or 16 of these in the next hour. I'm curious as to what the outcome will be.

My 2nd set of 5 not as good as 1st: 4 out of 5 cashes, 2 out of 5 cashes.
Still turned a profit ..... Wink

They are wild and crazy sometimes, Good Luck all playing.. Cool

Just ran 9 of these with Cubbies, ended down $6.

Couldn't win a coin flip against Cubs as always.

Very first hand of one of the $3 ones (I'm SB): http://www.cardschat.com/hand/3391

That guy is one lucky mofo.

EDIT: yayyyyy, despite his massive early chip lead, I took it down for a tidy profit of $11.95 Smile

I just played 30 of them tonight at the $3.80 level. Got my ass handed to me to say the least. Only 1 win, 2 seconds, and 6 thirds, net -$41.55.

My ITM% isn't great, but acceptable. It's the fact that when i do get ITM it is 3rd place. Now i do remember two occasions with 3 left where i was all in preflop with my opponent crushed (QQvs22 and AKvsK9) and they sucked out, which would have led to 2nds at the minimum. Also bubbled 5 times, 2 times with the best hand PF and 2 times where my AJ and AQ ran into KK (and of course no A).

So, i'm hoping this is just a little variance. I'll try again tomorrow.

Honestly, and i'm probably biased because i had a crappy session, but i think these SnGs are too card dependent to show a decent profit over the long term.
