Hi guys I started playing super turbos on 888poker few days ago and I think im running pretty bad, I know that in those kind of SnGo's variance is really high but i dont know really what to expect in the future. Im running around 100 buy ins under EV for little less than 500 tourneys. Can i get any opinion from someone more experienced than me please. Thank you in advance.

turbo tournaments are like shooting craps, 90% luck, shove and pray, why don't you try some normal tournaments or cash games?

Well i started with 100 buck thought i can beat 2.75$ 6 max super turbos but it turned to a nightmare, also got a deposit bonus and i thought that it is the fastest way to clear it......

mine was from 70/30 which has more severe bbl factors and thus worse aiev swings, so if yours are 65/35 you prob wont see as bad.

First, your hourly is not even 2 games. 488 games is one long session in hypers. When i played hypers i used to average 42 games/hour, and there are players with 70+ games/hour. Your ROI is quite good actually, but the sample size is too small, you need at least 5000 games i would say for ROI to be representative of anything.
I mean you played 488 games in 35 hours, that's just pathetic tbh. Its hard to take you seriously because the success model of hypers is based on rakeback/VIP programme, because ROI for good regs is usually 1%, and all the money is made from RB.

OP you probably don't have your push fold ranges down yet and therefore you are not playing optimally.

Same here, $10 6max super turbo's on 888 also. Small sample size and a high variance format. Just keep grinding it out.
