I figured at these buy-ins everybody plays tight and only a few times do you see somebody raising and betting and calling every hand.
So what happens is this:
You start with 1500, and unless you get AA and somebody gets KK or QQ this number doesnt quite change until the blinds are at 75/150.
At which point everybody "panics" and every hand you have an all-in and its AQ v/s 66 AK v/s JT AK v/s AQ AJ vs QJ.
and then blings become 100/200 and then ppl all in on anything because they become all short stacked.
Now I don't know why ppl do it, but apperantly they follow the strategy of I will hold my hand and play the best hands only, if that doesnt work, i will wait for the blinds to go up and I hope to get lucky.
With players like that on the table u really hope to get lucky and get the A7 not the A6 in the standoff when your short stacked.
How do you break this entire vicious cycle? Or is it meant to be this way?

If u don't like this structure u shouldn't play the turbos. The fast rising blinds is what dictates this type of play. Once the blinds get big it's correct to push with weak hands in good position given that u think their stack size or playing style doesn't allow them to gamble with a wide range of holdings.
The turbos are best for players who specialize in pre flop play. If you like playing more flops with time to wait for the goods play the non turbos or cash games.
