I know that no-one is going to give away their secrets here, but was wondering about everyone's thoughts on strategy for these 3x Turbo Sats. I know many play the nightly UKIPT €8 3x Turbos, while others grind the other 3x Turbos that run throughout each day. I have played a good few of these, with buy-ins between $1 and €10, and have made a profit thus far, but doubt my sample size is big enough to come to any conclusion about long-term ROI%!
Firstly, what are the thoughts on strategy during the 60 minute registration / 90 minute rebuy period? I have focused on minimising the outlay needed to reach the crucial add-on break at 90 minutes (I think we can all agree that those who play these and don't last until the add-on are missing the point of these entirely!), so I often register sometime in the last 5 minutes possible (between 55-60 minutes in), only go for single rebuys and then obviously auto add-on when I reach that point. This keeps my average number of rebuys down to usually between 10-15, though sometimes I can get lucky; last night I reached the break in a €2 3x Turbo with one of the biggest stacks after only 6 rebuys.
I feel that if I rebuy 10 times and start after the break with between 33K and 50K (usually the case unless I build a big stack), in the long term my profit will not be significantly less than those who rebuy 30 times and start after the break with between 33K and 150K (given if you play more aggressively and always double rebuy, you should have a bigger average chip stack). I notice that many of those who successfully grind the 3x Turbos (120z_mouse and others) pursue a single rebuy strategy, while others (I think Midnitekowby is among them) go for the double rebuys - thoughts on this? How aggressively do you play during the rebuy period; survival tactics versus chip accumulation?
Once the add-on break has finished, I guess that most of us try to play perfect push-fold poker; those with a decent stack can wait a while while everyone else needs to get moving fast (blinds start off at 6K/12K/1.2K so the vast majority of remaining players have less than 10BB). I think that many players tighten up too much during the initial period following the break, and then next in the run-up to the final table (so 14 players out or so) and it's slightly easier to build your stack at this point. If there is any time during these turbos that stats come into play, it is in identifying the true rocks at this point! Thoughts?
As mentioned above, I doubt anyone wants to give away too much here, but so many of us play these that it's worth having a discussion at least.
