Ok, so I have played a few Blast games at 888 recently as part of the Treasure Chest promotion and have had different outcomes for different styles of play, but still with a positive profit outcome overall.

So! What strategy do you adopt when playing BLAST? And does it work?

If you still have a positive profite outcome overall as you said, don't change your style and keep doing great work :D

Hahaha yes. That's what many players do with marginal hands (very first hands).

1. Be patient, 6-9 minutes are long
1.1 The players mostly KO each others
1.2 wait for the right spot and play aggressive

2. In the last the players mostly try to ship in and steal the blinds
2.1 If you're a gambler go 99+ Hands allin


It works. There so fishy players.

Good luck 🍀

I dont play Blast because the type of a game is calculated only on good luck.)

I never knew the strategy of blasts. I'm more used to playing spin and go in poker stars than in a blast where 4 players are playing. I would be grateful if someone obligated me to the correct strategy of the game.

I have two strategies

1. Play tight until you get a premium hand because every dollar is important in this tourney especially when you get to the blast part.

2. Raise or go all-in on good hands and hopefully the breaks go the right way.

Yeah just a free for all for most part, because you can be chips leader 2-1 even 3-1 and get beat during the all-in blast phase after losing 3 all-ins back 2 back.

I think it is much better to play spin&go on pokerstars. I tried both spin&go on PS and blast on 888 and while I don't like either of those games too much, I had much better results on spin&go. The main difference is that spin&go doesn't have time constraint, so there is no point in which you just go all in automatically. That makes the game more strategic even on later stages (still a lot of variance, but at least you can control your actions through the whole game).

There is an interesting video of Doug Polk reviewing Courtney Gee spin and go hands from her spin and go bankroll challenge. Some of the spots are similar to blast I think:
