Hey everyone!


I wanted to start a discussion about the GG Flip & Go format, because I’ve had very mixed feelings about it.

For me, the flip stage feels completely like a lottery almost like Toto .
There were days when I went through three separate sessions where I lost six flips in a row. Brutal.


But once I actually reach the ITM stage, the field often feels weak. I see a lot of mistakes and soft spots, so in that phase I actually like the format.


What do you think about Flip & Go?
Do any of you play it regularly?
Is it possible to approach it in a strategic way, or is it simply too much variance?


Curious to hear your opinions!

Agreed Flip stage is pure luck. But that's the whole gimmick of that game format.
Yes I also found the field in the Go Stage rather soft.

Will you try qualify for the Flip&Go Millionaire game?^^

Haha, I wish I was at the point where I could take shots at the $11 Millionaire 😅
For now I’ve only tried the $0.05 qualifiers, but the run has been rough — I had three tournaments in a row where I couldn’t even get past the flip stage.

On GG you can buy up to 5×1000 chips per tournament, and there are usually 5–6 qualifying flips every hour, so taking real shots at the $11 Flip&Go Millionaire would mean a ton of attempts. Way too much volume for my current bankroll 😄

So for now I’m sticking to the micro flips — I’m definitely not rolled well enough for the $11 shots yet.

I wouldn't spend 11$ on a flip either hehe.
But there are 1$ satties for it haha.

Still if you don't have 55$ to burn each try it's probably futile haha
