Default Turbo SNGs vs Normal

Hi guys,

I've been lurking in this forum for a while and really enjoy it. I've been playing 6 man (standard) SNGs on a daily basis for a while now and wanted to know what everyone's thoughts are regarding the "Turbo" vs "Normal" version of the game.

I am thinking of making the switch over to Turbo's so I can play more games in the same timeframe but think that Turbo's may give more oppurtunity for worse players to shine (less time, alot of push/fold earlier in the game ...)

Thanks,

Stephx

more $/hr. More variance.

I swear this topic comes up every few days or so. Try the search option, but there isnt much more to say about this.

Non-Turbos are like watching paint dry on a fence.

Smaller rake in turbos.

I believe it's generally accepted here that the turbos slightly reduce a good players edge (and thus expected ROI) but that that the increase in $/hour make it worthwhile.

Great response.

Thanks
