Play $20 double-ups paying out the top 5 and play super tight. (Usually) easy money.

Turbos. You have to pay slightly more money to enter the non-Turbos and the payout is exactly the same, so the profit is less. I don't understand it!

edit: I'm sure it would work for non-Turbos as well, don't get me wrong. It's just that I've only ever played the Turbos.

One thing that will immediately come clear is the amount of people that will fold to a push, particularly pre-flop if someone pushes in late position when there have been several limpers prior. I tend to knock hands AT-AK on the head if I'm in late position and there's already a few limpers before me. They're often hands that, unless you hit, you're beaten. And it's generally not good practice to get into a pot with 3 or 4 others anyway, as I'm sure you already know.

A thing I have learnt - if you are the short stack, wait for a hand. Don't push with anything. Nomatter how short you get (unless your stack is smaller than the big blind of course), wait patiently.

And another tip - if you're BB the SB generally always calls when blinds are say 50/100 or greater. If you've got a half decent hand (or even if you haven't), sometimes a 3x-raise back to them will make them fold. Obviously don't do this every orbit! But you will appreciate the SB's chips and the Antes unless you've a monster stack though.

Good luck and let me know how you get on. Just be very careful what you push with in the middle stages onwards. Having said that often if you're the aggressor you can really dominate and people will be terrified of you.
