If you're not playing these things, why aren't you? I may give up Heads Up and just play ST SNG turbos, because the play is so ridiculously bad. People are kind of loose early on, but as soon as the blinds get big and you're down to four or five players, they become so ridiculously tight... everyone's just waiting for someone else to get blinded out so they can make the money... you can start pushing every second hand, and you'll steal so many chips that by the time you actually get called, you'll be freerolling. Look at this shit:
Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, 22+2 Tournament, 500/1000 Blinds (3 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
Tightdonk 1 (SB) (t2100)
Tightdonk 2 (BB) (t1920)
Xopods (Button) (t9480)
Xopods's M: 6.32
Preflop: Xopods is Button with Q, J
Xopods bets t9480 (All-In), 2 folds
Total pot: t2500
Outcome: Xopods won t2500
Yes, that's right... they're both down to two big blinds, and STILL waiting for 99+ ATs+ AQo+. Easiest hundred bucks I've ever won, really. I think tomorrow I'll try playing 3 at once and see how that goes. They're probably pretty ideal for multi-tabling, as you'll be at a full ring for the first 15 minutes and folding most of your hands, and in push/fold preflop mode thereafter.

What's to teach? See lots of cheap flops early on when everyone is open-limping. Double up off a donk when you hit something, then once you have a decent stack, wait a few minutes until the blinds are so big that everyone's short-stacked... when the average M is about 8, you can actually just min-raise the top 33% of your hands and make everyone fold, while leaving yourself an escape if you have crap and someone pushes. Once the average is more like 5-6, then you can't really get away after you min-raise, so just keep pushing. You'll be amazed how rarely you get called, when you have enough chips to bust most people at the table... no one's really shooting for first, it seems... they're all just hoping you bust everyone else before them so they can straggle into a 2nd or 3rd place finish with a few hundred chips left.
Of course, you'll get called now and then, but you'll have 3x everyone else's stack by that point, so if someone doubles up off you, it's not a big deal... you'll have it all back within an orbit if you just keep stealing, and once in a while you'll suck out and bust someone.Last edited by Xopods; 02-28-2009 at 05:45 PM.

Yea this is why I love the $10 double or nothing turbos on Pstars. Get a fat stack and suddenly everyone starts freakin out cause the blinds hit hard.
