    If you are playing the 15+1 turbos because of lack of time - ok, i'll put in my advice. However, if you are playing them because 15 fits in your bankroll ( higher than 10, less than 20 ) PLEASE DO NOT ONLY PLAY TURBOS. Turbos blinds raise 2x faster than normal games, and last about half the time or less than a normal SNG. What does that mean? 50% more luck, less skill. With more luck involved, it lowers your win percentrage if you are a normal solid player.

    However, if you are just playing these because of time or for fun, here is what i advise.

    Blinds are key in these games. By the time blinds reach 50/100 you better have more chips than what you started with. If not, I would suggeust trying to do so as fast as you can without being super risky.

    If you are above avg chipstack when blinds get to 50/100 bully the less than avg chip stacks. These games are filled with fish that are just trying to get itm. With this said. When it gets to the bubble, it is a good players time to shine.

    There are normally 2 players with low chip stack that are straggling on to get their 3rd place. Always raise/put pressure on these players. They will normally be very passive until they have a good hand, so be ready for a push, because if you keep on antaganizing them, they will finally push back.

    I got this from aces:

    LImp small pairs on the first 2 levels and try to hit sets for cheap. Raise AQ AK JJ QQ KK AA. When the blinds get big 100/200 start going all in to steal the blinds from the button and small blind if you are short stacked.

    Because the blinds go up faster you have less time to camp and wait for good hands, you can do so until blinds are about 75/150, trying to pick a spot to double up.

    You have less options to see flops for cheap with hands like small PP or suited connectors, you can do so in the first two levels, but later on it is too expensive.

    Once it gets to about 4-5 players with blinds 100-200 and higher it is more of a preflop game, with lots of pushes and blind stealing.

    Yeah, you can have prettier ROI and ITM stats if you play the regulars, but when it comes down to it, I want to be paid the most I can for my time.

    The turbos will also have higher variance, so be prepared for that.
