Not that I am qualified to answer but given that a good player will beat a bad player more frequently the longer in which they have to do it or the smaller the M's I would hope the answer is yes. If your question was about $/hour then I have no idea. |

I think the reason most posters here play turbos is none of them know how to play on the turn and river anyway so they prefer to get to the blinds levels where they don't have to faster. It's popular to say "my edge is on the bubble" but that doesn't mean it's where your (biggest) edge SHOULD be. | |

Cool, thanks guys. The first 500 SNGs of my career were turbos of some sort. I just came back from a nice break where I spent some time reading 2+2 and here. I was trying to figure out where the money was last night because I feel like my ROI is larger (small sample size though) in regulars but obviously you finish turbos almost twice as fast. | |

for me, the difference is multitabling 2x more regulars vs turbos. | |

Also a factor to consider: Mr. Fish is more likely to play turbos (gamb000lll, action!) than slooow boooring grind and it's common occurence that at the same stakes slow games are populated with nitty regulars while turbos are donk-fest. | |

I've discussed this here before but turbos on different sites seem to have very different definitions...turbos at doyles room were like a new level after every hand (one minute?) and really you had to make decisions fast. I'm at full tilt right now and the turbos are every three minutes...it's not nearly as hectic and a game can still take 40 minutes. Much longer than that and my concentration goes down...I really don't have time to play for more than an hour or two a night. | |

There are both godo and bad things with turbos and normal ones, but i tend to play the normal ones just because i think its more skill there, then on the turbos, you kinda have to relay on the coinflip instead of your skills/reads. | |

It seems like nobody can come to an agreement as to "where the money is". | |

if you want to win more money turbos are the way to go. |

I feel very out of place in cash games. I'm not really sure why. I guess because I don't have as much experience there and I have read very little strategy compared to tournies. | |

I just concentrate on making correct plays no matter what the time limit is. My ROI is pos. | |

Disclaimer: I've played ~5000 SNGs in the last year, on all of the major sites and both speed structures, at 15%+ ROI FWIW. | |

It's also a matter of how turbo is the turbo... I find that a turbo on stars plays only a little bit faster then a normal on pp. |
