SNG super turbo last around 20 minutes.

Super turbo's rarely extend beyond an hour but MTT's are slightly longer.

Tournament numbers and skill levels affect duration but increasing blinds dictate game speed.

Poker super turbo's are roughly twice as quick as regular turbo's, three times quicker than standard game formats.

It would be crazy to think you'll last to conclusion each time so average time spent on SNG tables will probably average 10-15 minutes.

Definition of Super Turbo Poker

I played a barrel load of Super Turbo's at FullTilt Poker before they met FBI & US Corporation. Switching sites means adjusting strategy.

Each poker network offers games set-ups that suit's your player style and others working against it.

I'm comfortable with x2 turbo rebuy's, over x3 poker turbo's, because if I don't have strong chip stack after 80min, I'm in trouble with x3 but can ease back in cheaply playing x2.

Super Turbo Poker is a label. At some poker rooms, turbo poker games may be quicker or slower. Super and hyper turbo poker games feels for different settings, adjusting and changing gears accordingly.

I could babble on about 10BB with 10% blind increases as opposed to 15BB structure but in this case, experience is everything. You'll be psychologically affected by each game pace. In your head it tells you the difference between super and hyper turbo's.

It shouldn't take long to differentiate turbo games in your head, regardless of technical name that varies from network to network.

Ensure you know blind structures well before playing real money super turbo games but there's no need to get over technical about it.

How you psychologically approach these games will determine the meaning of standard, hyper, and Super turbo's to you.

Possible Blind Structure for your own use to determine poker turbo's in your head as labels like hyper and super turbo vary between sites.

Heads-Up Poker Super Turbo's

Sometimes you'll find super turbo heads-up games with 4 players, ie, a semi & final. These games are normally " winner takes all", so one player scoops entire pool.

Standard Payout for Heads-ups Super Turbo's

Heads-up tournaments begin with 1500, 1000, 500, or even 300 chips. Higher starting chip stacks give you more time to test opponents.

To keep opponent thinking, fire out x3 or pot sized bets, both for steals and for powerful hands.

From mid stage on you'll be push or fold, limping BB or blasting out 3 bet after weak looking flat call.

If tight player doesn't get good cards first, he's more likely to lose. Looser players collect more blinds and anti's, in better position when players clash.

In essence, the loose player has a "get out of jail free" card. Any two cards can win hand so this seems good value for more aggressive players.

Shorthanded SNG Poker Super Turbo's

Although 4 seated tables are played most shorthanded games are 6 seater's. Below is a standard payout for 6 player SNG tournament. 4 Seater games are usually in "Winner Takes All" format.

Be prepared to play "all in" with entered hands. You can scrape by first two or three round before you're forced to fight for survival.

When you get down to 3 players, watch for opponent taking each other out. If it plays out that way, great, hang in for heads-up, otherwise play aggressively against player showing more fear.

Full Table SNG Super Turbo Poker Games

For simplicity I refer to full table super turbo's as 10 player games. Some sites offer 9 player games, some game variations only seat 8 players. Payout schedule is usually same percentage, although mathematically payout's for 9 and 8 tables are respectively less.

Standard Payout for 10 player Super Turbo Poker Tournaments

One win is as good as 2nd & 3rd and better than 2 x 3rd's. This offers you incentive to play strongly on bubble giving yourself ample opportunities to win.

I discount 8-10 in 10 player games. These positions are reserved for Maniac's or those who were unluckily beaten by Maniac's.

From 7 players downwards tourney generally revolves around fighting for blinds and playing from strong positions. Surrounding chip stacks dictate hand approach.

Double or Nothing SNG Poker Super Turbo's

Most double or nothing SNG's are 10 seater's. To double your money you must finish within top half of field. 6 seater double or nothing games has top 3 payment schedule.

Standard Payout for Double or Nothing SNG Super Turbo's

Some players go for a quick double through and go back to sleep. It's rarely enough and they gets dragged back into danger zone.

Tighter players will sit back, play strong hands from position, again getting dragged into danger zone as blinds increase in relation to stacks.

The battle rarely commences until 7 players are left. First few players usually get caught bluffing or clash hands. Any time you enter a pot you risk being eliminated, regardless of hand.

2 Table SNG Poker Super Turbo's

2 table SNG super turbo's normally have standard top four payout schedule although some sites have top five.

Most games commence with 20 or 18 players but games like 7 card draw may be restricted to 16 players.

Why Pushing for Win Makes Sense

You can have a 10 streak of lowly placed finishes and considered consistent, or you can win a few finishing outside money in remainder and have a healthier bankroll.

3 Table SNG Poker Super Turbo's

Top 5 is most common payout for 3 table games.

Most tournaments will commence with 30 or 27 players, other games that require more card may require 24 players (3x8).

For the most part, you'll only play when you have a solid pre flop hand, you play from a strong position, or you already contributed to pot. Below is a typical payout schedule for 3 table SNG super turbo.

Sometimes you'll be down to 2 tables within a few rounds, other games go back and forth. Defending your blinds is critical but often it put's you in "All in" position, so keep alert for potential blind steals.

5 Table Poker SNG Super Turbo's

Top seven places is normal for 5 table sng super turbo freezouts.

Prize pool varies for satellite tournaments played for tickets, commonly top 1 or 2 get tickets with bubble player collecting the small change.

If you bubble consistently you probably play too tight leading to that point. Several players hang in for money positions making them easier targets for stealing.

Study your opponents position and chip stack.

10 Table Poker SNG Super Turbo's

Usually started with 100 or 90 players. Top 5th of field get paid.

Prize pool is top heavy so going deep in a tournament should give a good boost to your money stats. Below is a typical payout schedule for 10 table SNG tournament.

Top five finish is what you're aiming at. Outside final table cashes are maintenance. A single 2nd place pays out more than 20 games scraping into payout position

You'll likely encounter streaks of cashes and non cashes so make it count when you get deep into payout positions.

20 Table SNG Poker Super Turbo's

Normally, one in ten players make payout. 20 table SNG's are either 200 or 180 player games.

Standard Payout for 20 Table SNG Super Turbo's

You must go deep into money to get significant value for these games, cashing outside final table keep you afloat but for real bankroll damage you must produce at final tables.

Forget about scraping into the money (then playing). Most hands beyond first couple of rounds are push or fold. Only excuse for limping is blind positions, otherwise it's rarely worth risk entering pot.
