Thanks to Gorgeous, I'm trying a little experiment. Registered for 5 $1 TURBO Double or nothing SNG's. I will sit out all 5. We'll see how they go.

My prediction - only one will make the money .

Sitting out won't really work. I've played on tables that had REALLY tight players. On those tables you certainly won't cash. I wouldn't advise it honestly. Play a straight game and you'll be good. I usually have a 3:4 win ratio which kinda sucks. I'm a love hate for the DoNs, bubbling KILLS your profit margins.

Edit- Just played 4 and knocked out of three.....pretty much card dead and then bad beat 99 vs AQ, Ace on flop on cue like usual! I hate pstars with a passion. I should really stop playing there honestly.

Well.... In hindsight I had my logic backwards. I thought the TURBO's would kill the bad players off quicker. nrrrrmp! wrong. 3 7th's and 2 6th's for me. I'm tempted to try it again later using the regular speed ones. The blinds just escalated too quick in the turbos

I can honestly say it WON'T work, don't waste your money trying this lol and btw, if I was on a table and there was someone sitting out with 6 left, I'd make sure that they got the boot....

Even big stacks won't gamble once 6 handed with a sit-out , they'll just wait until you're out . No chance this will work to a +EV , maybe it's a good idea to tighten (it's usually tight , I mean extra-tight like AKs JJ+) your game in the early stages but once shorstacked you really need to push those buttons/sb's to make the money .

If you can double early, get to about 3-4K in chips then sitting out is a valid option. Otherwise you will always bust.

That doesn't work either lol I doubled up within 3 hands KK vs Q7 (flopped a set, K Q x rainbow so I let him catch up) turn a 7, I was nearly knocked out had >300chips left....crazy. I didn't play many hands, I got AA late guy min raised to 600 I went all in 1300 and he folded lol

If you were just going to try sitting out, I would figure Turbo would be worse for you, not better.
