TCOOP: Not everyone loves turbos (but you probably should)
Not everyone loves turbos, and I’ve heard some of my peers bemoan the lack of deepstacked, early level play with 100+ BBs. But from my perspective, deepstacked play is simply not the most important skill for a tournament player, and regardless of the speed of the structure, your success in a tournament will most often be decided by decisions that you face holding 10-40BB stacks.
To me, a turbo tournament tests the relevant skills of a tournament player in the most efficient, and fun, manner possible. You are forced to take thin gambles more quickly, and being able to properly take those gambles is the essence of tournament poker, whether it’s the $1 rebuy or the WSOP main event.
