Starting at $1 spin and go's I want to get as high as I possibly can. There is no set time period here, I have recently returned to Poker after my 3 years in the military stopped me from playing, now I'm back for good. The rules are I have to have at LEAST 150 buy ins for the limit I am playing before I can move up. poker stars have daily challenges for the S&G's at the moment as well, with rewards ranging from 0.50 to 5 dollar free spins if you register for 3.

My graph so far. I would like to have a win rate of ITM 39 if possible. I have had an absolutely sickening downswing but I played my way through it and have come out on top. I guess the end goal here would to be able to play at least the $30 spins with a decent win rate. This will be an ongoing topic which I expect to last for many months to come :) I wish my self luck. 446 tournies played so far. I'm only going to be using chips won graphs, so that some sick multipliers I have managed to win will not skew the results.

PS Does anyone know how I can make the graph bigger?

Nice man, im not the best in spin and go'es but i advise like 200-300 buy ins, they are brutal sometimes, they have a lot of variance, and if you know ICM is very good . get ICM trainer.

use gyazo to take a screenshot of your graph.
Rightclick on the picture and select copy picturelocation.
In your post then click the little yellow box with the mountain in it and paste your url there.
It will look like this:

Did not know about ICM trainer have downloaded it and will give it a try thanks! The swings are disgusting, I'm rolled with 250 buy ins for the stake im playing at the moment, and I think 150 might work, but I probably won't move up until I have 200 buy ins for the next stake.

Spin and go's it's has a differente strategy than mtt, cash, it seem like a hyper turbo... You're getting profit for spins so keep doing it, but manage you bank with pacience, a lot of people losses a lot in spin go's trying to catch the one milion spin..... But you're good, keep it good :D

Yeah I had a dangerous experience last night, I decided just for a laugh to play two $5 games to try and catch the mill. Lost both, and quickly logged my arse off and went to bed. After 10 days of grinding it can all go down the toilet so quickly if you start playing outside your role losing, and therefore tilting. Caught the warning signs early, deposited $10 to make up for the lost x2 buy in higher stake and then told my self off.

It's certainly hard, but if I manage to move up even just to $3 I'll have bean a spin and go stake and I'll be proud of my self.

Having another brutal day and it's starting to take its toll on me. Im getting it in ahead almost every time and just getting royally screwed over, My chip count is increasing according to the graph, but my bank roll is actually taking a hit.

Woke up this morning to get a fresh start and ran into this very first game on a X4 prize pool. These two hands were against the same player and once after each other so adjacent hands. I'm playing well but can someone just give me a hug please :(

As for calculating expected chips won per spin and go, I can't find that.

I'm losing the will to live, just check the Last 1000 hands or so and see how below EV I'm running. I dropped down in stakes to 0.50 and increased the tables to try and play through it. Hasn't helped.

The worse thing is to bet you're all bankroll you more than 50% in one day, in spins it's normally u loose and sometimes win, its a lot of up and down in the bankroll normally...
For example a bad day for this player...

You're fairing really well my man. You're making decent profit while being negative Allin Eq Adjusted, that's impressive. Just play enough of these to hit a jackpot and you're golden. Keep it up :D

Moved back up to $1 after moving down because of downswing. My first attempt back at $1 and I ****ing lose 8 damn games in a row with each and everyone getting the money in ahead as a favourite in every single important pot. I actually feel totally jinxed at 1 dollar spin and go, really I'm scared to even play it now. I moved down because I had an 11 game loss streak, move back up and I'm right back to an 8 game loss streak. What do I do? All my hard work from moving down has been wiped in 15 mins from my attempt to win 1 dollar lol
