AK vs AQ here comes a Q.... i have big stack on button pick up AJhh, cutoff jams 80% i kno hes tryin to steal... i call he shows 76cc... river 7!!!...do i have to play a ton of these? and chalk it up to variance?.. or is it just not worth playing these? thoughts??

    Aside from hyper turbos, these are the highest variance form of NL poker offered on sites today.

    By far the most swingy games around but turbo makes it easier to get more games in faster thus more FPP and more $$ if your volume is high enough. However, you can end up on suicide watch if you ain't careful. You don't know what run bad is until you have run bad for several hundreds of these.
