My (new) best run ever gave way to my (new) worst run ever. I was playing the $12 45-man turbo's on Stars on Sunday, and lost quite a bit. To make myself feel better (or worse, depending), I looked up the stats on a couple grinders that I knew of, wickss79 and gimmidaloot7. I've noticed that both of them have done pretty badly in January. I'm not a true grinder, but I'm known to occasionally multi-table grind for an evening.
This is all making me think... Around Jan 1st, Stars added the new 90 man tourneys. The grinders on 2+2 were knida pissed, because the turbo structure had changed to a sort of "semi-turbo" structure. Well, I have done very well on the 90 man turbo's, but the old 180's and 45's seem to have gotten a lot tougher.
My hunch is that the grinders have not adapted, and the 45's and 180's are still "grinder heavy", whereas the 90's are relatively fishy in comparison. I know what I'll be playing for awhile...

dont worry worry the "grinders" will adapt to the new "semi-turbos" soon enough. i truly dont think that at the 12 dollar level it is that hard to catch on to the new sit and go formats

If you ask me softer games are in the non-turbos these days imo.
turbo's are filled with grinding multitablers.

I've had a really inconsistent 2nd half of January grinding stars turbos after crushing the first half.

I've noticed every time I want to play a 12/90 turbo it takes about a week and a half for it to fill up. So then I try to play 12/180 turbo and I then go sit in a corner and cry because I know the pain and disgust I am about to feel.
