Stars changed the speed of the dealt cards so I had a lot of trouble 9 tabling the 16$ turbos. The problem is that you have to click a lot faster and you play more hands/SNG but the duration of the SNG is only slightly lower than before.

After some bad sessions I played for a change and for a sense of achievement some of the new HU turbos and had a very good time. I played only 1 or 2 tables at a time.

Because of my success I decided to play HU turbos for a while. The blind structure is the same as at the 9 player SNG and I am used to play HU (with higher blinds) so I decided to play HU turbos for a while.

The lowest buyin is 6.25$ but I started with the 11.5$ turbos.

I played 100 11.5$ turbos so far.

My results are:

ROI: 22.4%

ITM: 64% At the HU SNG the ITM rate is normally called winrate. So I won 64 and lost 36 SNG.

$Won: 258 or 2.58/SNG

$/hr: 18.34

Because of the very soft competition I am not very happy with the results.

The winrate should be 70%. I made a lot of stupid mistakes. I have to adjust to these turbos because you cant rest. When I played 2 turbos at a time I had a negative ROI. But if I focus I have a huge advantage over most of the players because they just play their cards.

If they go allin at the river, reraise, checkraise of limp reraise you preflop they have almost always a hand so they are very predictible which is good for me.

Now I started to play the 23$ turbos and expect a winrate of over 60%. Good players have 65% and more. More than 60% winrate over 100 HU SNG is normally a reason to move up.

The players at this level are of course better and they bluff more and have a clue about bet sizes and they play back from time to time.

I try to play 20 23$ turbos every day now but I play only one table at a time.
