If you`re a skilled player, why do Turbo tourneys/SNGs?
 

They say that the longer the blind rounds the more skill is involved in a tournament. So if you`re a skilled tournament player, why would you want to play a turbo tournament? Just so it takes less time? You`re good at playing a fast, lots of all-ins preflop style of play? It seems these are popular with some players and I was interested why.

Higher winrate/hr. Only reason skilled players play them. They can play more games much quicker than regular length SnGs.

Poor players, however, just play them cause they're impatient.

I do significantly better in the HU SNGs than in the normal ones. I think a lot of my advantage comes from being able to adjust to the blinds better than most players.

The turbos also make massing games quite a bit easier.

I played 71 games today (all turbo). There is no way I could have played that many of the normal ones. The turbos also offer "more bang for you buck" as far as buy in goes.

SNGs are the place where the best players play turbos. Since SNG strategy is all about playing tight early, then accurately assessing push/call ranges late and going pushbot, the best players play turbos to increase hourly rate.
