Good afternoon community, I like poker a lot and the modality that I like a lot is spin and go of pokerstars but, there is where my doubt is, is it really possible to become a profitable player in the long term in this modality? are you a Regular in this area? ( are there regulars in this area? ) , what does it take to become a profitable player in the long term in this modality? (I know that discipline and control to not play higher stakes is essential to not go broke and to maintain your bankroll and not get frustrated over time), please leave your tips and experience regarding this sport.... Thanks for your help!
Afaik spin and go is just a super ultra turbo tournament without payout implications. So look at what the rake is and go from there. The shorter the time control, the less ability you have to outplay your opponents, so if a Turbo tournament has 6% rake, spin and go should maybe have 1-2%? If it's also around 5%, it seems like a bad choice to play for money.
If I'm reading this right the rake is 8%, so I'd say stay as far away from the format as possible.

Spin and Go is a bingo tournament. Is it possible to become a regular winner in bingo tournaments? ...... I don't think so. Personally, I have only negative memories of these tournaments. I regularly faced a maniacal opponent, and all my skills and all my experience didn't matter at all because the luck was on the maniac's side.mikiba11 said:

Personally, I don't consider Spin & Go poker. To begin with, the prize you'll be playing for is determined by a spin that's programmed exactly like Slot machines. It will only give a decent multiplier after having swallowed a huge profit for the house. So, how many times should you play to finally get a nice amount to play for if ever? And if you get it, you're not guaranteed to win, it's just a bingo situation that has nothing to do with poker.
If you have doubts, it means that you are being pragmatic. No wonder you have these doubts 🙂
Do you think a lottery player can become a consistently and regularly profitable player? ..... I think it's very unlikely. That's the answer to your question.

Quick chance to win some cash ( if you are lucky it can be big prize). I use to play this kind of game very often because you don't have to wait long for your turn and almost always something is happening with my participation.
Can you be profitable with pokerstars spin & go?

I know players who make money in MTT tournaments, but I don't know anyone who makes money in Spin and Go tournaments. These tournaments are roulette, your skills, your experience in such tournaments will not be crucial, as it essentially comes down to your luck and the luck of your opponents.mikiba11 said:
In order to become a success in Spin & Go tournaments in the long run, you need to do a very simple thing. You just need to become the owner of a poker site 🙂mikiba11 said:

I've underlined what I consider to be an important part of your question and should probably be a pre-requisite to answering it.
I've never been a 'SPINS' player but I do know others who have been. I know one player who profited $200k+/yr. for over 2 years. This was prior to Pokerstars changing their Rewards Program.
I personally have no clue how much any 'regulars' are making at this game these days but I would guess there are still some who are playing them (with making a regular profit in the long run). I'd assume it's at the lower limits.
Although one doesn't have as much of an edge in such a short-stacked, fast structured game, there is still much to be learned and some players are FAR better than others they can still be okay due to all of the TERRIBLE players who are drawn to them (and who play them very poorly!). Also, you can be playing a very large volume of games in this format! (although I have no clue how many people are playing in games above $5 or $10 Spins).
I would surmise that many who have posted in this thread don't have much of a clue on how to play them (their answers make it obvious). I'm not professing that I'm a SPINS BOSS but I do know there's much more to the game than one would assume.
The SPINS are also an excellent training format for very short stacked play. These days on sites like GGPoker the tournament structures often have the final tables end up with effective stacks being very short. Using SPINs for a training ground can help a player out in other formats.
Spin n Gos are basically hyperturbo SnGs with a lottery element. On most sites including PokerStars they give you 25BB to start the game. The lottery element acts like a "tax", unless you hit the jackpot, and makes them more difficult to beat than other hyperturbo SnGs. But for all hyperturbo SnGs its going to be crucially important, how much rake you pay, and how much you are getting back as rakeback. And to be honest most people will likely have a limited timeframe for a "career" as hyperturbo SnG pros, since it gets boring very fast to push or fold on multible tables at a time for many hours per day.
I think that if you can be regular in this type of game, I know that there are people who are dedicated to this type of game, many believe that it is bingo, and in part it may be true, but also in certain that this has its part of strategy, in my case I am not a regular spin and go player, I used to play them but the PL omaha and spin and go max, but I only played them from time to time, you mention very important things like discipline, control of your bankroll, also You must study a lot, review your games and analyze it, see what you can improve.
The issue is, most SPINS are winner takes all, so its only really the heads-up part, which you can use as training for other formats. Playing in chip-EV mode 3+ handed is a fairly substantial mistake, when there are payjumps.Poker Orifice said:
