I have before on accident...absolutely hate it. I'm a tighter player and pick my spots...can't do that in super turbo without getting blinded.

if that is the case, isn't it a HUGE advantage to play in these? I'll take my chances with the smart poker player over the "chasing with garbage" poker player any day....sure the chaser will win their share, but wouldn't a smart player come out +EV by a LARGE margin?

You dont have time to pick your spots b/c they raise the amounts so quick. If you feel lucky, have at it, otherwise, you be tossing and flopping to lossdom.

Exactly why it isn't a huge advantage. Even with solid hands you get people sucking out all the time since they will call with anything.

Zactly, thats how you getg beat, not odds of any one hand, but a bunch of chasers that care not about anything close to appropriate play.
