ROI for Turbo's

[locks1018]

I've played a lot of regular SNG's and I know what to expect as for as ROI% goes for those but I was wondering if any turbo players could post there stats so I can get a better idea of what to strive for. Right now,I'm playing $16's on Stars so any large sample of small stakes are appreciated.

First 750 $6 Turbos: ROI 17%
Next 750 $6 Turbos: ROI 13%

There's a huge amount of variance in the turbos, make sure you're properly rolled for it. I would want probably 100 buyins unless you are comfortable playing kinda short.

I was on a heater for the $15 turbos I played, 130 of them:
46.9% ITM
31.1% ROI

I'm not sure what the $16s are like lately, but the $6s have become almost unprofitable. There's no fold equity, and people will just donk it up left and right. Myself and a friend have found the Stars $10 regular SNGs to be soft lately, so we've been playing those instead. I think I can beat them for a higher ROI than the $6 turbos, enough to make up the time difference. We'll see.

Mine is a small sample size, but I've got an 18% ROI over 220 $6.50 turbos. Am trying to move up to the $16s but so far over my first 10 have an ROI of -32%

Homerdash, interesting what you say about the $6.50s becoming unplayable. Although it's true about having virtually no fold equity because the donks will call your pushes with all sorts of crap, I would have thought over the long run these -EV calls will enable you to make money. Makes it hard to play when you're shortstacked though and have to push into donks who will call with 50% of hands.

I wonder whether this phenomenon is linked to the WSOP, I'm seeing many more players logging onto PS at the times I play, sometimes even twice as many.

Pokerstars Turbos:

220 $16s @ 16% ROI
~1100 $27s @ 9% ROI
~200 $60s @ 18% ROI

I made big improvements in my game when I played the $27s, so toward the end of my sample of $27s the ROI was higher, around 15%.

Regarding the jump from $16s to $27s, I felt like there were more multitablers that understood correct pushbotting.

The jump from $27s to $60s was minimal.

I got bored of SNGs though, I play NL cash now.
