Looks like the spin & goes might be a quite a controversial move by pokerstars - the analysis of the format by a long-time successful sit & go professional leads him into launching a petition against the format, seems like plenty of players are following his lead.

I get the point there and I agree - no one doubts that Spin & Gos are in the long run as or maybe even more profitable than any other format - the problem lies within the fact that in Spin & Gos you could easily be unbelievably more off the expected winrate than in any other previous poker format, can't imagine playing those for a living.

Well, Im afraid there will be no success.
Believe it or not, PokerStars are actually not making profit on SNEs.
They need them for marketing and traffic, but the only real profit for PokerStars are players, who deposit more then withdraw.

I know SNE has generated tons of rake. But if its profesional player, then he is actually using money won from other players. And PokerStars have to spend tons of money to bring those players in and keep them there. And to do so, they are introducing Spin&Gos.

Well I only tried 2 or 3 of these spin and hos and I guess this is not a format for me. Will avoid them in future.

Don't like it. You can win "xxx $" put just 1$. S**t ! Tree players each 1$ and you can win just 2$. Who takes a rest?

That will not help, business is serious and makes a lot of money..

Wait for all countries PokerStars roulette and blackjack, to the end of the year the client will appear. . That's when the need to write any petition, and now it is a waste of time...

Because this is the poker client, and blackjack roulette is a gambling games, and there is a chance of success...

ACTUALLY, with the rake changes just announced virtually everyone is doubting the Spin and Rakes can be as profitable as normal SNGs, and most people think they will be profitable to no players in the long tun now that rake has almost doubled in SOME cases.

well i really wouldnt play the spin and gos. on a dollar game every spin i see is only a double with one entry going to the house not counting the rake if there is one shoot i dont even know if there is a rake on buy in. but its like the people playing have already lost 33% of there buy in on most games. im sure they have more multipliers than 2. really strange because if i wanted to play a slot machine i would just go play one. its going to be interesting to see how many do make a profit with this format gl gl to people that try. but living where i do it will be a long time before i would even be able to play one but the sites i can play on might follow in the future. feel free to point out mistakes on format that i may have it would be appreciated ty.

spins and are a gambling way of poker as it is very addictive but I find that they are quite fun and I've built a little bankroll due to them. however, sometimes it's more like a bingo poker, you either win and you win big or when you lose, you lose a lot. I can see why people partition it to be gone

Wondering what happend to this man. Banned? They also banned people protesting sitting out in HU Cap games who were protesting against the rake raise. I lost my respect for pokerstars.

You can make millions playing the lottery; it doesn't mean it's positive ROI folks.

I protest against SNE! In fact they are monsters who grind all day and quickly stack off recreational players. This is worse for the poker industry.
Spin & Go tends to be gamble for the most part, but it's funny and can attract a lot of new players who believe in their luck.

There's so much variance in the Spin & Go format that it harder to be EV+ when playing 3$+ tournaments.

If i will be lucky to get the chance to play a tournament with 3000* multiplier, i'm not sure to be top1, so i will get just 10% of the prize, witch is in that time very profitable, but in a lonf term i will loose money.

Don't like it too. Played $1 spin go 3 times and the prize was only $2. Don't know the frequence that the prize is bigger, but didn't worked for me.

It's simple. If you don't like the game then don't play it. It doesn't mean that if you do not like the format of it everybody else doesn't. There may be other players who loves it.
And SNE is?
