Turbo is a type of fast poker tournament structure with short blind levels and fast play.
These MTTs are much faster than standard ones, as the blinds increase more rapidly, reducing your SPR. This structure is especially prevalent on online poker platforms. Fast-paced action and shorter duration time make turbo tournaments very popular among casual poker enthusiasts.
For example, if the blinds in standard poker tournaments increase every ten to fifteen minutes in a turbo structure, this can happen every six minutes. With less time to play with deeper stacks, you have to play more aggressively so as not to bleed out the chips.
