Default Why can\'t I play Turbos?

I have a 62% win rate at the regular 5's and 10's (Stars - HUNL), but when I try to play the 6.50 and 11 turbos, my roi is barely over 6% for several hundred tournaments.... how can I be so solid at regular tournaments, and so bad at turbos? The players seem worse in the turbos! What startegy adjustments do you guys make when switching from one to the other?

Could be a couple things:
Sample size
Variance
Winrate probably will be (slightly) lower at turbos in general
*You dont adapt well to the stack sizes in turbos
*Bad high blind strategy

i agree with cwar, if your results aren't due to statistical variance you're going to need to make some adjustments to playing with a shorter stack if you want to match your roi from the regular structure.

You have to play a lot looser in HU turbos esp. when the blinds get up to the 50/100 level. Do you know what you pre-flop raise percentage is?
