Which poker variant should I choose?

[Artuditu]

Hey. I'm just starting out with poker. What's the most profitable variant right now? What do you think about spin@go? Which room has the best conditions for making money? Thanks for the help.

Hi, I'm currently playing Spin & Gold on GGPoker and I can say it is good, but I think it is harder than most part of people think...

The profit depends on how good you are at the game, but if you consider yourself a true beginner, I would recommend you to choose between cash game (if you want something more flexible and with less variables (as tournaments, that has ICM, for example) and Sit & Go, because it is a small version of the classic tournaments, and you can apply everything you are learning about tournaments easily.

Both are really good, but you need to study a lot, as all game types, obviously...

Almost everything is better than Spin & Go's if you want to be a winning player in poker. The edges are almost non-existent, and the variance is huge.

There are also numerous stables and teams that provide charts, special HUDs, and coaching to their students and "horses".

Only play them for fun or if you get a free ticket.

Play freerolls!

 

[Station_Master]

Cash (regular tables, not zoom)

 

[odonob]

Freerolls, Omaha is the easiest to cash in for small MTTs.
Sit and go’s are good to get the reps up and get good experience at low stakes levels, you will see a lot of hands and get the hang of it in no time.

If you can find the volume 9 man sngs. Think its a great way to work on the basics like icm.

spin and go is a good game to start whith yes

 

[alucaa]

I've been playing Spin and Go for a long time, and I really don't recommend it, I've lost enough there hahahaha, the variance is very high and the players are a little “crazy”, they pay with any hand, which makes it more difficult, but since I don't have much time to play it's what I play the most, I would say it's much better to play tournaments if you have time, even so tournaments have their disadvantages, such as the large number of hours you have to spend playing to win something

 

[TheFO0L]

I would recommend you MTT’s, if you want to learn what hand to play in this format just create a free gto wizzard account and there is preflop of every format+ one postflop spot per day

There are many factors that influence the red line and you don't need to get hung up on it, the main thing for you should be Chips-EV, and you can keep the red line at 0.Spins can reward very exploitative strategies that can be repeated due to the very fast format. It is difficult for opponents to adjust.Poker players tend to be degenerate players and love spin and go's.

Sit & Go Double or Nothing tournaments. The rules are simple. Half of the players double their buy-in (win), and the other half win nothing. Single-table tournaments with 6 or 8 players

 

[xreiss]

mtt, best one

 

[Maxxo]

mmt for shure, but if you want more speed go to sit&go

 

[Fallenglory]

Sit and go's (1 to 3 tables) or cash games I would recommend. Start within your budget (bankroll) and follow the 30 day course on this website. Its pretty awesome for beginner to intermediate players even.

 

[RALF_AK]

...study and practice...start by playing freerolls and then move forward...

 

[successlaw]

I think it will be hard for you to beat spin&gos variance..better to start with some regular sngs if you find them on the platform you play

If you are a beginner player, NLH is the best option for sure. Tournaments or cash games depends what you prefer, both are profitable. I don't like spin&go, because the luck factor plays a bigger role.

 

[lyki67]

First HoldEm to learn how it works, to have patience and because this art of game is easy to overview. Later playing other games, and always first only high version, and then H/L versions. They take more time to thinking about what you have, what you can have and how to play.

 

[infonazar]

If you are just starting out, you definitely shouldn't think about profits. Why, you ask?
Because this approach will only lead to losses.
You need to think about how to master the basics of the game, how to acquire basic skills, and how to accumulate experience. To begin with, you should play not for money, but for the sake of your own good quality play.

 

[oriole]

Start with Texas Hold-em - it's the most beginner-friendly and widely played. Spin & Go tournaments can be profitable but are very swingy due to their fast nature.

 

[HunRicky63]

Szia. Még csak most kezdem a pókerezést. Melyik a legjövedelmezőbb változat jelenleg? Mi a véleményed spin@go? Melyik szobában vannak a legjobb feltételek a pénzkereséshez? Köszönöm a segítséget.

You need to practice in freeeroll tournaments. After that, the game can go live.

 

[Tadi]

Spin and Go tournaments are big lotteries and this knowledge is not critical to success. I play them from time to time, most often I am in the red on them, so I would not recommend you to play.

 

[Flyer35]

Spin & Go's are the absolute worst game to start with. They are a special form of gambling tailored specifically to adrenaline junkies and addicts. There's a reason GGPoker provides a free game every day, and it's not to help newbies develop into world class poker players.

As others have said - full ring SnG's and cash games are a good way to start. Cardschat freerolls (when the password has not been shared to the world) are a great way to begin with tournaments. They represent a middle ground between an SnG and a full scale tournament.

As far as a variant - I personally think Omaha Hi/Lo is the best. I play these as cash/ring games all the time and also as a tournament when I know I'm going to have a few hours to play non-stop. It's very different from NLHE and requires a few unique strategies.

BTW - thank-you @Artuditu for this question. Feel free to return to Cardschat at some point in the future.

If you’re just starting out, I suggest focusing on one of the “core” formats like No-Limit Hold’em cash games or tournaments. They have the biggest player pools, they’ll give you the fundamentals you need before branching out.
