These are my generalised opinions/tips on Spin n Go format.
-To be good at anything you need study and practice. You can focus on spins but still play a few other formats in between.There are lot of elements of spins that will help you in other formats. Balance and diversity is something I strive to do in that way if I loose on Spins today I can still have a good day with a good finish in an mtt.
-Format can be addictive, it easy to loose track of things. Need to set limits both in buy amount and number of games/time of play. Self control is necessary to stick to limits. Chasing losses is not recommended although I tend to do it all the time. If playing on
pokerstars you can make use of responsible gaming tools like buy in limits and cool off period if needed.
-Game is very volatile, you
will take a boat load of beats and coolers how you deal with them will go a long way in determining how profitable you can be. Need to learn how to deal with a beat in game and not let it throw you off your strategy. Doubly more important if you multi-table spins like most do. You do not want a beat in a X2 affect how you play in a X10 if playing both simultaneous for example.
-Need self control to stop session when going poorly even if you haven't met your planned number of games. Frustration builds easily from the accumulated beats this leads too poor play eventually so try to take regular breaks. Not all sessions or days will be winning. Sometimes it is best to give up on a certain day there is always tomorrow.
-All games are important including the X2 although by some players play on them you cannot tell. They help keep you afloat i.e. close to break even and they are generally easier to win as some players do not take them seriously. You keep afloat or average a small profit on those small prizes and keep playing eventually the big multiplier will come your way.
-A HUD is a necessity. It helps multi-tabling, multi-tasking, aids quick decision making, helps with repeat opponents. Most importantly it helps you to review your game and look for areas to improve. I advise not reviewing sessions right after playing as sometimes we are too emotional to see our areas for improvement.
I did not post any strategies as they are too subjective, too situational based, too complex and it will take too long. If you guys ask specific question on strategy I will give my thoughts on it.
