    So after some recent training from one of the best p5ers ive been slowly building my bank roll with the micro turbos and though im going up I feel as if the downswings are more frequent then when I'm not playing turbos. Is this true for turbos or do they occur as often as reg sngs?

    I guess the real question is should i be playing all turbos when building my BR--- or just mix some in with the regs --- or just none at all?

    Opinions Welcome!

    Turbos have higher variance. You will experience more frequent and more violent downswings playing turbos. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. It becomes a push/fold game much sooner and reduces your edge over other players. A good push/fold game can help you gain some of that edge back, but will never completely eliminate what is lost by playing a turbo. You should generally expect a lower ROI and more/longer downswings playing turbos.

    I don't recommend playing both. Stick with one or the other and perfect your style. Switching (or worse even, playing both simultaneously) is going to hinder your ability to get really good at one or the other.

    play whatever you want. think about everything you do. you learn more from experience than doing what people tell you to do.

    though obviously turbos have higher variance and play differently
