you'd have better luck playing slot machines.. you need to finish in the top 10 consistently to make it worth it and its formatted to be a shove fest.. good luck I played one a while ago and it was the farthest thing from fun I could have done..

I played it while I was chasing goldstar registering one after another and playing 6 at the same time max, I was actually profitable after 1000 tournaments cca +40-50$ but got tired of just pushing and folding and way too much flips for my taste

This is not poker it is a huge donkfest. Even spin and gos are better that that format because you may once be lucky and hit a huge multiplier! So to answer to your question cross your fingers and be very lucky , that's my strategy!!

You have to be lucky and play monster cards, not quite that difficult but it's not to be played, my opinion! :))

I tried it once and I didn't like it. The problem is that a tournament usually starts in one of two ways for me. Either I get good hands early on and build a stack or I get almost nothing early on and have to wait up to an hour to really get going. The problem is it seems to be the no cards start for me more often than not.

Beat the clock is a zoom tournament, so it's easier to pick up a hand then in normal tournaments.So you can muck shitty hands and just look for aces or kings. But that's wrong thinking in beat the clock. Have in mind ur almost never deep in this tourney and you moslty have 15-20bb. Try to play as many hands as possible even the bad once. BUT yu shouldn't let the pot grow to big! It's best to play small pots or shove pre-flop. Mostly you have to shove a good hand pre because a limp or small raise looks fishy. You should almost never bluff because 95% of the time you are clashing with a stack 30- blinds, while having alost the same stack.


Hope i helped. Good luck! :DD

In fact, this game is very dispersed, I would not recommend playing it every day, let alone rely on AA. This game is purely for fun, risk and luck. For example A9 lose 6 or AA Diamonds are not always a favorite. So if you want a fun way for you is a great choice otherwise not recommended.

beat the clock

| have played this game but only for play money, I would never play this for real money. no sense even waiting for good cards as you will be raised pretty much every hand by others at the table. if you are not lucky, you could consistently lose every time you play, as the payout is based on number of people who survive. you could win but end up with less than the buy-in. not good odds at all.

I have played it a few times - first time to see what it was like , and of course I was lucky enough to win a percentage of the pool, they break it down for all the chips in play when the clock stops ... and the position you are in. Who -hoo , I won enough to cover the buy-in and just a few cents more , which of course was enough to hook me into playing again - although I waited a few days later . Sure enough didn't make it :(

I never played the game, but I think you should fold and push :)

Beat the Clock is a game of luck, that looks like a poker roulette. Very dispersive game.
- This game is based on the principle of "push / fold". There should not be a lot of calls or often watching the flop.
- The tight strategy in this game is misplaced.
- Try to be more proactive - use the button and UTG positions for big bets and push.

I also played it few times, but I also think it has a really big variance. I also prefer the Spin&Go, if i want a fast game on PS. At other rooms I play different games, even oldschool 9 handed with normal speed. For me these fast games are just fun or for playing in some promo of the room.

I didn't like this style of poker...i think that does not give the hero the the best chance to Win...pure Luck.
