I am more than sure it will hit me one of these days but hitting even the money is the easy part....
2 final tables and both a 3rd place finish and I have played a total of maybe 20 of these its good profit. I keep an eye on position and how many are left and then decide how to play my cards at that point!
most of the ones I lose completely are really close to the button and know my mistakes! I know there is more luck involved than skill but when close to the bubble the skill comes with the mind games you play with the others!
I have bluffed with nothing and surely beaten and able to get them to fold!
------------ I play a ton of spin an goes so playing them has trained me how to play these as well!
Once I start losing a couple in a row I jump to a cash table to earn my losses back or try to then start over! I was down 25 bucks yesterday then that 3rd place finish again helped me alot!

I find the main issue is just thw suckouts. Any ace ppl go allin with. Then u got the 10-j -kq allins that suck out on ur ka qa. Alot of crap cards too. Ill afmit the times i came in second and third was from playing small suited connectors like 89s. U got 4 ppl in a pot woth the ace rags so ussually do well aginst them

Congratulations for your second 3rd place finish in 3 days and multiple cashes. This is not bad, but I personally do not like these Hyper Turbo tournaments. If you start with 50 in the Big Blind this is just too fast.

Yea I am on my 4th loss in a row right now, hopefully it will turn around a bit! Yes people shove any ace they come across and I find alot of suckouts on the river when I clearly have the best hand up to the turn! Oh well, I have been on both sides of the fence on that one!
------------ I just went out in style first hand
10/10 and of course someone had AA
------------ I think I have just losy 15 i a row now with nothing going my way....it doesnt matter what I play the donks on right now are playing anything and always coming out on top, I only play premium hands too!
The moment I mix it up same disaster! I need a final table bad!

15 times in a row out of money is totally normal, up to 40 times can happen in turbo 180s,as for hypers even more. Also seeing that A4s hand alone plus your comments I would seriously recommend you to switch to a different game type and probably better switch to non turbos.

There definitely fun and swingy. Expecially if your rolled for them. If u boink 2 outta every hundred games its break even so anything after that is a bonus.

I used to enjoy the 50/50 games. Think if they had hyper turbo 50/50s theyd be a hit. Wouldnt havta play for 30-45min a game just to double up type thing.
