Turbo Poker Tournament Play Tips
With the start of online poker, many new types of poker tournaments have popped up. One of the more popular online game types is the turbo poker tournament.A turbo poker tournament is a short tournament where the blinds are raised quickly. The format of a turbo often forces quick thinking and high betting. So, if you play a turbo, you need to be prepared to go all in (bet all your chips) fairly often.
Playing Real Poker
Although you have a little time to play “real” poker at the start of a turbo, it won’t last long. Pretty soon you won’t have to worry about making decisions after the flop, turn or river. Your decision will simply become fold or all in pre-flop, or sometimes post-flop.
Unlike the next big world series of poker tournament which soon to be held in Harrah’s Tunica – The WSOP 2010 Event – Turbo Sit n Go tournaments are much the same as regular turbo tournaments, except that they usually only consist of one table. So, they go at incredible speed. You really have to have your wits about you when you play a turbo SNG.
Turbo Bankroll
Early in a turbo you may be able to make a pre-flop raise, as mentioned above, without going all in. Still, though, if you do, you need to be able to keep enough chips to be able to back up your bet later in the hand. Otherwise, you could find yourself up against a wall.
