888 Poker Blast Strategy

I'm currently trying to grind the 888 Poker Blast $0.10 just for the fun of it.

For now I'm just trying to stay afloat until I get a big multiplier. (So far the biggest I got is 10x)

I don't know what strategy is the best to beat that game.

It's a roulette as soon as spin n go on ps. What strategy? More aggresive and believe in your luck. That is all

I'm playing blasts as a usual 4handed table but more aggressively in late 4-5 minutes when I have stack bigger then my opponents.But I can't say that this game is so profitable cause usually multiplier is 5 or 2x,the biggest I had was 10x.That's why mathematically we play just for fun !!!

It's hard on $0.10 blast as so many people just go all in a lot of the time with nothing. I just try and wait it out for better hands. Never got a 10x multiplier! Only ever got $0.50 games, I can never get any luck haha

That's the point. This game should be beatable.

If I can play without losing too much on low multipliers then when a big one comes; I'll be up quickly.

I played over 250 of those games and 10x is still my max but it only takes one big shot to go over the top.

On the plus side you got way better odds of hitting the big multiplier versus poker stars spin n goes 10 in 1,000,000 with blast and 1 in 1,000,000 with spin n go and there is no 1000x multiplier with Stars next level drops to 240x. Best strategy is to play aggressive.

Nope, I ran really bad and I lost a couple of bucks. But considering my adjusted allin EV I should have been about even money.

It is a lottery game and I need to hit those big 100x+ multipliers eventually.

I know some players are involved deep in these games but I cant imagine its hard to see that it is pure lottery. I do not waste my time in hopes for a big catch - the odds, of course, are against me.

Wow those Blast games are dangerous for misclicks. First time I accidentally registered to a $5 Blast and lost it (That is 50 buyins at $0.10).

My last misclick was more serious. I was watching TV and playing $0.10 games and somehow I registered to a $30 game by accident and got a 2x multiplier. I was furious but I got hold of myself and played it until the Blast phase when we all go allin. I got away from the computer because I could not watch.

When I came back I had a message that I won the game and my roll grew by $30. I'm happy with the result but it could have very easily been a 300 buyins lost also.

There should be a filter to show only the buyins we want so we don't enter games by accident.

Wrong, it is not roulette.

I love running into people with this mindset.

When I was able to play at 888, and when I play at PStars SPnG.

So easy to beat.

That's only 1 buy in not 50

Does PT4 work fine with 888 Blast games?

It seems like the HUD stats are working but they are not under the right player name. They seem to get placed at random. I have preferred seat at the bottom spot but PT4 HUD is not working right for me.

Am I the only one with this problem with Blast games and PT4???

Here are the probabilities for the multipliers at the $0.10 level.

There is a huge step between 10x and 100x.

I played 400 games so far and 10x is the maximum multiplier I got.

But I'm still chasing; if I win a big prize I'll probably move to the $1 games.

If you have a lot of bonus money from the treasure map promotion, I'd switch to the $1 games now.

I did not play the map promo because the risk to reward ratio was not good.

But I agree Blast games are good for using bonus money.

Lottery SNGs like this are a great way to practice your play attacking and defending the blinds. You should open very liberally on the button, and call almost anything in the BB against a min raise. Good luck.

I think the buyins levels are segregated; so the 10 cents I am spending are staying for the higher multipliers in that category only.
