Latest silly+addictive poker variant
I blame groth911t for getting me hooked on these.
Hyper-turbo Sunday Million satellites.
6 players, $87.72 buyin.
1st and 2nd pay out $215, 3rd is $86.
500 chips to start, 3 minute levels:
25/50/10
50/100/20
100/200/40
200/400/80 (though it rarely gets to here :))
They are pushfests from the get-go, and chock full of fun little strategic tournament situations (like pushing trash on the bubble knowing that nobody can call!). Average duration is 5.4 minutes so you can play a ton of them, too. Additionally, they are utterly stress-free since you simply don’t have time to worry about results. Half the times I bust out I don’t even realize it until my table closes! Its been a long time since I played sit-n-go’s, but I did specialize in them way back in the day (around summer of ‘05 I was a pro at the $22s and $33s!). I’ve gotten back up to speed pretty quickly. Thus far I’ve played 100 of them with some reasonably impressive stats*:
I welcome you all to challenge my reign of hyperturbo terror!
- - Actually I really have no frame of reference for these sorts of things, so I don’t know what a good/great ROI is these days. Also, I’m not sure why I have so many 1sts and so few 2nds, considering there isn’t really a 2nd place in these?

looks like roughly a 10% roi which is white-hot and obviously a small sample for the amount of variance in these things. for reference, i'm pretty sure the best sng players at decent stakes (in regular or turbo 9-mans) win at like 5% roi and that's in structures that allow for more of an edge to exist.
