    Ive played a few and there soft, but i mostly grind the 45mans, which i prefer for some reason, and I do pretty well in those.

    I went on a tear where I used to play the $3s like everday. I have 2 wins, 2 seconds, and countless other FTs, theyre incredibly soft and once you figure out the way to play them, you can just kill, but be ready for some bad beats.

    I've final tabled 3 $26 KO's in 1 weekend and then gone to bust about 5-6 more and busted out a few $10's. The turbos are very streaky, obv becomes a shovefest once it reaches about 50 or so left.

    I grind the 3.30s a little. Swings are huge but the fields are soft. Gotta get a good rhythm in these. Also, the .50 KO bounties helps protect your roll, so I wouldnt think you would need 100 buyins to be safe.

    I love the $3.30's personally, especially when the first level starts playing like the bubble of a SNG at 200/400 blinds. I think if you stick to the "system" Sklansky talked about in his tournament poker for advanced players (starts as shoving only AA/KK and later expands by giving a shove range depending on positiion) you could pretty consistently crush them as they are very soft. But yeah the bad beats are pretty sick in this tournament.

    I play these a lot and have done reasonably well. You just have to know that you need about 15000 in chips to make it through the bubble period. But I have bubbled quite a few shoving ak or so and being called by someone for half there stack with q9 or worse because that .5 means more to them than cashing!

    These tourneys are great. Its turbo but starting with 3K chips is great. I used to play the 180 mans on stars but these are so much better for turbos.

    I've played 8 of these and have a 2nd and a 1st (brag), obviously variance has been good to me but I still feel like they are unbelievably soft and are a good value.

    Yeah,seems to me like these could be great value,especially if you play a lot per day. it seems as they fill up fast too.

    am I the only one who doesn't get double stack turbos? don't the two just cancel each other out?

    I also prefer the 45mans. If they had a higher buy in 90man, I'd probably play them. Like a 70+5 would be cool.

    I recently started playing the $24+2 90 person sit 'n' goes and have had some pretty solid results. I have been keeping track of my results in excel to see how profitable they are. Since I have been keeping track, I have played twenty, won two, and moneyed in five with an average bounty of just under 2.5 people.

    Doing pretty good. Two wins in the 3.30s and two wins in the $10+1s. Has definitely helped my Sharkscope stats.

    KO's are my favorite to play...They play a little different from regular mtt's and there is always good action...plus getting a bounty for each ko fits my style well!

    if you don't have too many valuables around to break (or this isn't a concern to you), they are certainly soft, easy BR builders. the play is terrible and the self-opinion of the players is almost as high as it is on P5s, but if you can deal with the insane amount of beats and a lack of resemblence to poker, they are quite profitable.
