TYPES OF POKER TOURNAMENTS PART II

TURBO TOURNAMENTS

A turbo or speed tournament is one where the blinds rise very quickly. Often, the blinds will escalate every 5 minutes. In fact, it is not unheard of to have the blinds increase every two minutes!

These types of tournament have a higher luck factor than typical tournaments. There is very little postflop play because people tend to be forced to go all-in preflop or fold. For this type of tournament, aggression is important.

In conclusion:
The blinds will quickly eat away your stack if you play passively. Steal the blinds a lot and hope luck is on your side.

"The blinds will quickly eat away your stack if you play passively. Steal the blinds a lot and hope luck is on your side." In my experiences of playing in turbo tournaments, that statement is dead on. The luck factor becomes too high, and makes it even more difficult to make a profit if regularly played. I now only play turbo's in the interest of saving time. If you don't have the patience for "normal" poker, or don't have many hours to devote to grinding, you should try a turbo tourney.

I kind of like fast play tournies. I like poker and all but it gets a bit tiring when it is the same ole crepe of fold fold fold. So at least in the turbo ones I get to play by luck and hope it is with me lol.

It all seems to be luck of the cards and I agree that if I have the best starting hand then someone seems to get me on the river SO I seem to go all in alot with turbo games and ALOT those who luck out on the river will fold.I usually wait for all in when I am paired,or same suits with possible straight OR 2 high cards..

i avoid turbos because i'd rather the game have more skill involved...now it it's a freeroll i'll still play. It helps if you can double up early once or twice when the blinds are still small. Play a lot of hands early when the blinds are samll to give you the best chance to do that
