As a NL player who plays just about all formats, cash games, 15-20 minute/lvl MTT's, HU SnG's and the Stars turbos I agree that just focussing on one type of game may stunt your poker development.

That said certain games suit certain players and if you like and do well at Turbo SnG's I don't really see any reason for switching to ones that take (according to the sticky above) more than twice as long on average to finish. Apart from the $/hr issue there is the probability that you will be very frustrated by what you see as their glacial pace - of course you could try firing up 6-8 of them at once to compensate.

For me I like fast SnG's and long MTT's - so long as you get some experience of deeper stacked poker somewhere along the line, I wouldn't worry too much..

On sites where regular SNGs take more than twice as long to complete as the turbos, learning how to play turbos optimally is a vital skill to have. I can't stand playing hour and half SNGs! And the hourly rate is better in turbos in that case. But there will be more variance since you don't play as many hands against likely worse opponents.

On another note, even if you have the early game down in turbos, If you have not studied ICM or use SNG-PT, you are not playing turbos optimally. SNG-PT will pay for itself infinite times over. Even in regular SNGs you will encounter late-game situations where the blinds are large relative to the chip stacks and you have less than 10x the big-blind. This is where knowing the ICM math will help you find profitable pushing situations. Basically, learning how to win in turbos will still help you with regular SNGs.

Took me about half an hour to find out, so maybe I can save you some time.

See following link.

I've discussed SNG-PT in a bunch of posts here the past few months. I dug up some of the Bubble Hands series I posted earlier that make use of the knowledge gained from SNG-PT:
