Winning these, at minimum levels players are very soft and I'm winning at a ratio of 5-1. Can't complain about that, as long as you are winning nothing else is of concern.
Good practice also if you make the top three in a tournament.
Just stay aggressive on the button, fold if they are aggressive, hard to lose

I finally won a match for 2X after getting rivered quite a bit. The next match was another 2X payout. So I realize I'm paying 1000 for a 2000 payout when the payout should be 3000, and I don't care any more who wins. I'm not playing it anymore if they are going to keep taking chips off the table. It's really annoying, and I think your going to lose money in the long run if you leave your payouts to chance.

someone won $ 1,200? entry of $ 1???
That person would have won $1000.00, in the $1 games if you are playing for $1200.00, 1st gets $1000.00, 2nd gets $100.00, and 3rd gets $100.00.

I used the free tickets promo thing to have a few shots at these... the $3 ticket was a 2x... and of the five $1 tickets 3 were 2x's... 1 was a 3x... and i my lone biggest jackpot was a 6x
managed to cash in 2 of the 2x $1 tickets though... so if you get the free ticket offer... deffo worth a shot... not sure if i'd invest in those over SnG's tho

Anyone who plays in pokerstars probably knows what these are. Basically, you play a 3-handed tourney, winner takes all. The prize pool varies though and it's randomly determined. It could be 2x the buy-in, it could be 25x your buy-in.
How are the player pools there? Is it possible to reg these and would that be advisable?

Played this 4 times this morning, $1 buy-in, 1st spin $2pot, 2nd spin $6pot, 3rd spin $4pot and fourth spin $6pot. I only won the last one, but still a profit.
It seems like these games are high variance, but not always high return. It sure sounds fun playing a few games from time to time to fulfill your gambler's needs, but I don't think it's good a good source for BR building

Its like I've said this before. The game has been created by Pokerstars to give the house a bigger edge for them so they can collect more rake.
It's a big rip off.
When you feel the temptation coming on to play the spin & go just take a few deep breaths, concentrate real hard, and repeat this mantra about 50X..."the house always wins, the house always wins, the house always wins..." and so on.

What I don't like about the spin and go format is the small starting pot. It encourages players to go all in. Most people aren't playing poker they're just going for a coin flip. This game has been cleverly designed to make Pokerstars lots of money from the rake.

I have played over 100 spin and go on 1$ stake;
It's true that players are very loose and you can beat them easily when it's the minimum payout of 2$.
When the payout are better 4 or 6$ , player become more and more tight , when it's 10$ prize they are easily exploitable to blind them out.
For the 3$ entry, pool players are better but still you will find some big fish players.

They found a way to make easy profit out of spin and go, because if mostly the prizepool 2 and the sum of the buyins is 3, they make 1 of profit out of the grand majority of the games (wich are A LOT!!), so the biggest winner with this format is pokerstars!

they do not make $1 profit cuz theres only $2 in the pot,
the other dollar goes to the bigger jackpot games,
If you bought for $1 and play for $20 are they losing $17?
no, thats where the extra dollars go
7% rake on small buyins
4% rake on larger buyins
period!

Yeah, pokerstars have been very up front with this information...
furthermore the games are fairly easy to exploit tbh..

Then play like your playing for $50 instead of $2 or $10. Just won 6 in a row playing sensible, that included a $4 and two $6. These are very easy games to win at low stakes.

I havent read all posts, so I dont know if this has been said....
Mostly you stand to win 50% your buy in MINUS RAKE so in a $1 game, you can win only 93 cents on your dollar. Your chances vs 3 players (given that you dont have an advantage, due to structure (Hypo Turbo), unknown player, etc.
But, all in all, not a great deal...........

For a $1 game, the rake might be $0.07, but if the prizepool is $2, you still make a $1 profit.
