Default Re: Turbo or Normal SNGs

Turbos will generally give you a lower ROI than normal SNG's, because there is less room to outplay the fish. Even if you play perfectly in both, the fish have fewer hands to make mistakes in turbos. Also, as the blinds get high, shoving all in or folding become the only viable moves, which means that the fish will often stumble upon the correct play accidentally, to your detriment.

On the plus side, turbos sometimes have lower rake (e.g., 25+2 on Stars as opposed to 20+2 regulars), and they're quicker, so ever with a lower ROI you might make more $/hr.
