Why not to play spin and go.

its more of a coin flip, and gabbling when every opponent shoves with any Ace.
 
I like to play spin & go because it is a way to train for the final tournament tables, the way to play with 3 players and then a mano a mano is fundamental to winning the final tables of tournaments, has helped me a lot and has results in final tables
 
I think spin n go's are good if you do not have much time or not feeling super patient. But ofcoruse there is always a small chance to be playing for an ok amount. But myself I do not like to play spin n go as skill plays a bit of a role. But luck is huge, and the luck factor I stay as far from as I can when it comes to poker.
 
I'm in the 30-40 percent wins of all. There often put all the chips on the line without stopping. It turns out the tape measure. And with blind faith in luck as something not very. So I'm not interested. I take a risk only when I have $ 0.25. And so I am more comfortable in the game for cash or tournaments.
 
Spin'n'Go require only luck, if u feel your lucky than you should play, otherwise its just waste of money. 🙂
 
For me the graph with stats i will post below is concludent. Spin is not for me 😀 !

For me 0.25 $ spins are very easy,there is oponnents that is they get 2x spin they just go all in so you get their chips easy and you just have to win heads up 2:1,i played 4 tables all the time,you usually get atleast one 4x or 6x,highest i got was 25x,i builded my roll at 0.25$ spins and then lost it all on 1$ lol
 
One more thing about spin go....the wheel that is rotating before the game begin is kinda fake( i have proof for that!) , the prices are established by stars before rotation.
I do not comment how pokerstar give that prizes( TY stars for all the free stuffs!) but is strange to rotate the wheel for nothing.
 
Spin n gos are very profitable long term... i have built a nice bankroll and withdrawn plenty of times and now am focused on moving up limits to $60 then $100 asap... there is high variance and if you don't understand the maths of poker and playing +ev even when variance hits you hard then its not for you... because you will end up going bust when you're on a bad run... its all about volume... if you see my graph for example i have an ev roi 12% over 2.5k games in a couple of weeks on $7 buy in and was running really bad for a while... my chips won line was way below my ev line and it then caught up and then down then up... but as long as your ev line is continuslly going up yhen you are a winner long term....just beware there are big downs and even bigger ups if youre a winning playrr.... there are so many 5x multipliers on ignition that i can't see how it is not profitable... all the best!

Sorry i forgot to mention that this month after two weeks of grinding $7 spin n gos volume 2.5k 3 tabling.. biggest multiplier 5x and ITM hovering about 37-39% my ev roi is 12% and my actual $ roi is 11% meaning my current roi is 11%... ive had worst and better months without ever winning a multiplier bigger than 5x... i believe with my capability i can maintain an 11% roi on the $7 spin n gos.. over a big sample size of 200k tournaments.... now ive caught up with all my bills and debt I dont need to withdraw any more so i will be playing $15 in about a week and aim to reach $30 then $60 ... i use icmizer to study... i know more work needs to be done on my optimal post flop play (but im not that bad) as im crushing $7 limit... just mix it up and keep opponents guessing... dont cbet every flop, donk bet every flop or raise every button h2h etc 🙂 in fact on $7 buy in most of your profit comes from showdown, so i limp a lot and outsmart thrm post flop... my bankroll management is 150 buy ins and move down if reach 75 buy ins...
 
Thanks 🙂 I think I got this advice from one of the teachers on hisng.com... it beats having a static brm, because you will need a bigger bankroll to play the next limit.... where as this way you can move up quicker as long as uou are disciplined and move down when you reach the 75 bi for your current level.. 🙂

They won't help you with any final table, how many final tables have you been at that the 3 players have only 500 chips with blinds rising quickly.

It is a totally different game from regular 9 handed holdem.

It can be profitable if we learn the necessary skills for it.

Yes I think the same and there is so difficult the get allways a better price only come the double and I think that for advance Player.
 
You should only play spin & go if you want to donate money to Pokerstars (and the 1 out of the millions who hit the jackpot).
 
I guess that this is only profitable for the realy good grinders. And since it is so different from regular games and thus might influence my game it is not for me.
 
In long term is that , but if you play lets say 4 tables so you play only for two win and the other are bonus so in my opinion how much tables you play at one time the pressure i lower
 
It's not worth it long term to play high rake, low skill games period. Even if your opponents are terrible, the return on your investment still can't possibly be that high because skill is a relatively small factor.
 
Every spin n go game to take bad beat, I've lost with AA vs KJ, and the worst is that the KJ turned full house on the turn. For me the variance is too high because you often only get 2x and play against 3 players. IMO SNG HU Hyper are more profitable.
 
I like them...

I like the feel of spins, nice fun if you have spare bankroll.
 
The problem with spins is the highest multipliers. They don't come or once in a lifetime but rake excluding them goes higher with 2% around 9, which makes it unbeattable.
