Default Re: Turbo 180\'s. Like? Dislike? Why?

I've started playing them regularly short time ago, and my ROI is 190% with 112 tournaments played. Still the sample is too small to predict a correct roi, and variance plays a huge role.
Since it is a turbo, with only 180 people, when it comes to 400/800 blinds, most people are effectively shortstacked and prone to make bad decisions. Folding equity falls sharply and it becomes hard to steal pots preflop, since most (80%+) of the raises are either called or reraised.
And, as a wise man once said, you actually need a better hand to push than to call with...
