[molokheia]

Hi There
I Think that you are not a fish but an addicted to fast poker
Also these spind are only for big bankrolls and absoloutely for passing time and fun
Forget playing serious on the games

Try playing mid stakes tournament instead

The spin are hard, and there is much variance, there are many who play expecting a x1000 multiplier, and thereby recover all lost, and gain, I have friends who have earned 4000 dollars, and that's the best to play SPINS in minutes you can earn thousands of dollars.

I don't have a lot of luck with the multipliers .. I play against 2 players and the prize is not even 2 buy in .. I don't care anymore in this type of game .. but sometimes I pay a visit there to test my luck!lol

Hello all,

I want to start a discussion about Spin and Go’s. Are they a lure for fish? Are they too high variance to make a profit? Can skilled players truly make profit off of this game type?

My personal story is that I deposited to pokerstars, and doubled my money in a week playing only spins. Then the next week I started playing for much higher stakes ($30-$50) and blew out my bankroll.

Am I a fish? (I want honesty, not a sugar coating)

We @CardsChat like to turn....

In to....

Just Keep Reading and Learning....

Spin & Goes are Great for Final Table Training... Especially When Head to Head with First Place in sight at the end of a long grind...

I equate it to playing Golf, Putting is very different to Teeing off and your short game is just as or more important than your long game most times screwing you to one or more over par...

Much in the same way after a long grind and finally reaching the FT some players are caught out having to go head to head and not given much time to it in training... You're doing well and are better skilled now when you reach FT... Head to Head is very different than the Grind that got you there...

Follow reasonable bankroll management rules to avoid going broke in every small downswing.

I would personnally rather play heads-up than spin&go. You only have to beat 1 opponent and not 2 to win. I gladly give up the 1 in a million vhance to win a really big sum in a spin&go...

the spin and go is a very difficult format to master. the more you play on buy-in elever and the level of your opponents is good. not to mention the variance that can make you lose all your banckoll even if you make the right decisions. I personally like to play on this format but I rarely make profits in the long run.

Yes they can be profitable, it is a slow process in the long run, short burst of playing these can easily bring profit. You did right increasing your stakes but after months of similar profit rather than a week would be better.
Keep cool while you're playing these types of games and you will end up heads up more often than not.

Very often, after a successful game at low stakes, you want to make money quickly at higher stakes. This often happened to me. In minutes you can win and lose. Losing happens more often.

 

[Richardszabo]

Yes, the variance is too high. From your own bankroll not profitable. Only in the Backing group is profitable. I think you stepped up higher stackers too early (bankroll management). This is a typical mistake, i think from this you're not fish!

 

[Vallet]

You managed to easily increase your bankroll with the help of spin and go. I always stopped a step away from winning. There's no point in rushing to high stakes.

 

[DaIr8882]

it seems like a cheat

I noticed that the profit depends on the deposit. So at the logarithm, the deposit is meant to win

 

[Sword]

I raised my bankroll and attempted to 3x30, eventually 0((

 

[Erik moraes]

if it's a game of luck or a fish game i don't know but 4 years ago i won the top spin go prize of u $ 3 getting u $ 9,000

 

[Sword]

The chances of large wins are very small, so it is better to wash down the tournament with levels of 10 minutes

 

[lierm]

that spin & go are often chosen by new players is a total truth. I chose it when I first joined Pokerstars site. It was easy and understandable platform compared to loads of tabs of tournament options. I only play spins n goes only if I'm in a mood, but now never go more that 1$ dolar buy-in.
And someone just said, that they are quite good on training for final games.

 

[tauri103]

when the variance is on our side yes we can realize profits on this format but when it is not the case. you will spend your time to fight not to suffer losses. Spin & Go are grueling and you have to concentrate because you are in play in almost every hand. You have to be in focus, and not play 3 or 4 hour sessions because you then make mistakes and these cost you money.

Spin & Go currently have an incredible ratio of recreational players to regular players. More often than not you will face two weak players at your table especially in low buy-in games, which is why Spin & Go is profitable. As long as you are not the fish of course because the more you increase the stakes and the more your opponents will be hard to beat.

 

[lablelarry]

The small buy-ins, I find just attract very ridiculous players, it seems like it doesn't even matter how good a player you are the other people just have what seems like unlimited funds to go in all crazy

 

[German629]

Hi Evan! I think main your mistake, that You hurry and jump on hi limits at once.
It's not right! First of all, You need some time play on the low limits, that get
a good and enough playing experience, observe for your opponents, that get more
information about them, and etc... And only after, if You will to play in plus,
may gradually coming up on more hi limits, since in Spin & Go is very huge dispersion,
and you are as on the mine field all time... Good Luck!

 

[cj2327]

You can figure this out with an EV calculation. The result will depend on exactly how likely the large payouts occur, so will vary from site to site (FWIW, I haven't found one where it is a good deal).
If the Sum of (Payout multiplier * chance of getting that multiplier) is less than the number of players, standard Sit-n-go's will offer better results.

 

[Igor Popadyk]

if you don’t see the fish at the table, then you are the fish! but the question is too blurry — the dispersion is very blurry in the backs — you yourself know!

Hi There
S&G is the worst thing you can do to your bankroll
They are the last type of gane you shoud go
Before them are Zoom and Cash
I prefer MTT

Its a very hard field to make profit, If the player don't chase you down with a flip of any hand, and I mean any hand. Seems the software will it happens to me at Poker stars when cards open you have a top pair he catches any card he shove with, winning with a 2 pair or anything better. Good Luck!

 

[tagece]

Spin and Go's are the more swinging game on PS. When you play it, you will necessarily have to shove or call shoves all the time. I think it's a fun game, I play it sometimes. But only the 0,25, because I play it just to spend time. If I break even, it's nice for me. You need to have special skills to be profitable in this game in long term.
