I know this topic has been beaten to death, from all the "no money HU everyone is solid" jokes on 2+2 to the changes in HUSTurbosHowever, the Super Turbos (esp. 35-100s) have a much, much larger pool of fish, 15-16 games running at pretty much any hour of the day. Meanwhile, it's starting to take over an hour on weekday afternoons to get an average of about 3 games, and this is killing the hourly. Weekends are still ok for now, though.People for the most part play like actual fish, like they used to in 2003-06. On the other hand, HU fish actually pull off 2nd level moves like A hi floats on PBs and light 3-bets.If one can overlook the massive variance, has the general decrease in skill + high volume of super turbos made it more profitable to focus more on Sturbos at the present time?
I think it can be easier to handle variance in super turbos, because it is so constant.No matter if you are the best ST player are the worst, you'll constantly be facing upswings and downswings way far away from your expectation. Even a 3% winner in the $100s is making $3 a game, a little more with rakeback of course. But if he plays 50 game sessions, his expectation is going to be around $175 or so, but he'll be up and down $500+ a lot of times.It just really can make you not focus on the variance at all when playing these, and only focus on decision making, which is great.I'd recommend anybody thinking of playing these for profit to take a look at Mersenneary's videos, many of which offer a lot of valuable end game strategy exemplified in the super turbo games.But you're absolutely correct that these can be highly profitable for winning players and the fish seem to love them/rematch more often. It's harder to see how bad you are in these, as a lot of edges are not as evident to many players right away.
