Spin n Go
I really enjoy this format because it’s QUICK and fun :burnout:! Unlike tournaments when you’re time pressed. I only play low stakes $1 but I’m up overall. Ie peanuts - converting £20 into £130 all in S&G.
I think there’s a different skill - and certainly a high degree of
gambling,
bluffing and luck - like all poker, but relies more on bluffing I would say. Play tight at first - let the all-iners bust out or double up, then turn aggressive but be prepared to mix it up, folding blinds, raising and checking so you’re not playing to the same pattern. You can’t wait for big cards - low pairs are a push heads up and manage your short stack.
It’s a good training ground for STT games as these skills come in handy when you’re down to the last 3 Players.
The hard bit is re-pacing yourself for a deep stack type tournament, and it’s easy to blow out quick - probably best to enter, go away and lose the blinds for an hour or so, then play ‘proper’ poker when you’ve calmed down and readjusted.
But... give them a go - great fun. Start on 25c, build your technique then move up.
I personally won’t go above the micro stake $1 to 5 in this game however.
