I’be been playing some spin and go tournaments recently and wondered what are peoples opinions. This is referring to any 3 or 6 max hyper turbo tournaments.

Should they be played or is it too much of a lottery?

Spin n Gos are not the only tournaments, which are offered as hyper turbos. A site like pokerstars also have traditional 6-man and 9-man hyperturbo SnGs, and they have hyperturbo MTTs. The hyperturbo MTTs typically start with 100BB stacks, so the only difference to other MTTs is, that the blinds go up faster.

no, these are just as cool tournaments as other tournaments, it's just faster than usual, so you need to play better and play more hands it's not a lottery just think people who are waiting for one strong AA card and everything is as usual I would be very happy if you included all the tournaments in hyper turbo so that people play poker and not wait 2 hours for one strong hand so poker would be more interesting

I am aware that there are other types of hyper turbo tournaments and was just using spin and go as an example, but I was specifically referring to low stack hyper turbos.

I don't like to play hyperturbo. It's insane and based most in luck than in skill. I only register in this kind of game in freerolls.

In this tournament format, it is important to use Nash's push or fold chart because the blinds increase quickly and you end up with an uncomfortable stack.

This table allows us not to be exploited by our opponents and to make the best possible decisions with our hand.

It is important to know that we can use this table with a short stack (less than 20 BB) where we have no depth to raise and continue the bet until river... So it is better to go all in or fold preflop.

These type of tournaments can save you daily buy ins and you can open them anytime you have not so many tables left

They are a great way to work on your short stack game.

With the short game length, they are good to play at the start and end of your session.

Get an icm tool and practice the format.

Review your hands after each game.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

This is too much like a lottery for me, I like to play at regular speed where there is a medium-deep stack.

Hyper-turbos are good as an additional load to the main tournaments) But these tournaments force you to play more aggressively, and often it all comes down to push-fold) Therefore, the push-fold must be well trained by the player in order to be successful in such tournaments)

I think it depends a lot on your time and your bankroll at the moment. in situations where you don't have much time to spend with poker, it's interesting.

I might play one someday ,. but usually i prefer turbo or normal speed and blinds tourneys . 1 min or 3 min blinds might be too little for me . especially deep in a tourney , then blinds increase so fast , i need a good shove fold strategy ,

You really cant keep up on these if you play multiple tables.. and even if you do there is lot of luck factor since everyone is going ALL in first hands etc
