    How does everyone feel about these shove-fests?

    It's a fun way to get through a field of thousands in just a few hours. But is it a profitable way to play MTTs?

    I have had some success with these by simply playing super TAG while others seem to push with any Ax, or suited hole cards.

    Thoughts?

    I think the first 10-20 hands are pure luck. If you can build a stack, then good push/fold knowledge gives you a big edge over most of the players (obviously referring to the lower stakes).

    The SnGs are a healthy part of my game. Ive played a handful of the MTTs and don't like them as much. The variance feels particularly vindictive and capricious. I also think optimal strategy is somewhat different in these than in the SnGs and it's hard for me to co-table both simultaneously.

    I'd be curious about what sort of ROIs are possible with a large sample of the MTTs.

    idk how anyone with a solid push fold game could dislike this structure. No I dont want every MTT to be a ST, dont get me wrong that'd be boring as shit. But if you don't like these you probably have a bad push fold game, or are playing too high. When I decide what I'm playing in terms of my bankroll, I take hyper turbos on stars and super turbos on tilt and multiply the buy in by 2. If twice the buy in is within my freezeout guidelines I play, if not i don't. Helps to ease the variance that people complain about in faster structures. hope that helps

    These are great fun. Definately a luckfest though, I couldnt play them all day. I love the STT sattys they have just before the big guarantees with 100 chip starting stacks too.

    The $6.50 Super Turbo KO's are a lot of fun, and over in about an hour and change. As wivawat said, if you have a solid push-fold game, these things are a cakewalk... provided that you win flips and run goot.

    totally agree, strong players either bust right away or cash deep because of the structure.
