Default Re: What is your opinion of \"Ultra-Turbo\" SNGs?

Blinds go up every 2 mins? You ever play the extreme turbo 5 max Prima sngs? Starting stack is 1,000, blinds 10/20 and they go up every 2 (!!!) hands, top 2 get paid. You heard me right, hands. And there's no 50/100 level, it goes from 40/80 to 80/160 and so on.

I was wondering for a while whether these were beatable if you were a master of ICM push/fold ranges.

But in the end I swore off of them because it was so swingy and everyone called you off so lightly and the HU battle is a must all in/call every hand. One cool thing though, if you are slightly winning or a breakeven player in these games, it's one sick way to accumulate rakeback/bonuses.
