Online Poker Forum - Super Turbo Stats

What's a good ROI to aim for while playing 5-6 tables at the low buyin super turbos? Also, in theory, isn't it ok to have less than 50% all in equity (although hopefully not too much less) since all of this and usually more is made up by stealing blinds and dead money in the pot from limpers by being the aggressor, especially in late position?

Is it necessary to use programs like SnG wizard to be very successful at these games, or is it something where you can start with a general guide of opening hands and tweak it after playing more and getting a feel for the game?

The last thing I wanted to talk about is player notes and table selection. First off, are you taking any kind of real notes on the players, or will simply color coding do the trick since you often have little time to do more than act? Even with color coding, I have a hard time doing more than separating good from bad based on 1-2 hands I see since the games are so short, so I lack any detail beyond solid or bad. I know a lot of grinders, especially the 16-tabling high volume players, just join the next available game after busting. Is it better to get more volume that way or take the time to select tables with more color coded fish?

Thanks guys,
Zach

As far as notes, I only take them on a couple of the regs I see over and over. Otherwise they don't seem that useful to me.

I'd love to see a discussion of table selection. Personally, I just join the first available table. This is probably not the smart thing to do.

Just thought of a couple more questions, go figure. :p

With one really shortstack and 3 bigger stacks on the bubble, are players at the smallest buyins competent enough to fold all but large PPs if you try to bully them, knowing that only the shortstack has to go out in the blind one or two hands later for them to cash? Or will most players at the 3.80 and 7.50 tables not adjust much for this fact.

What is the general strategy at the bubble anyway? Should you be getting aggressive as the shortstack or one of 2-3 relatively equal low stacks? Should you play big stack bully all day with enough of an edge over the closest stack? I think the medium stack gives me the hardest time. It's easy enough to bully a lot of players, especially the short stacks, but you never want to get in trouble with the big stack and go out before two short stacks. How do you play the mid-stacked bubbles?

And in general, is 5-6 handed basically a loosened up early game strategy with adjustments for the blinds and stack sizes of the villain/s involved in each hand?
