Many say that spin and go's are luck. Others say you have to be aggressive, and still others that is just bluffing. What is your strategy to play them?

Press with hands that you would not use, a serious example with 10-9 that are of different colors, but the idea is to be aggressive and try to put your opponent against the wall

Hello.
In tournaments of this type, I try to play aggressively and always use the position at the table.

Mine is to not play them.. I like when a game is fast, but these are too fast!!

Arlie Shaban is a Twitch streamer playing them, 15$-500$ after his series of daily MTTs and has success with them.

There's also OP-Poker giving spin classes on stream. They are also streaming on the pokerstars channel once a week so they're not bad for sure.

I think these 2 streams can give you a hand on finding strategies to play spins.

It is necessary to combine the bluff with aggression, but nothing happens without luck.

Hi.
In my opinion, in such tournaments the factor of luck prevails. It is more like roulette in a casino. Therefore, the best strategy is simply not to play such tournaments.
Good luck.

In Spin & Go, I try to play loose-aggressive. Here a lot depends on luck.

For me, the main thing in these tournaments is less bluff! Although I often does not adhere to this rule ...

If you play a ton of spin n go you will start noticing patterns when your opponent connected with the board. Its really a clear timing tell where instead of a smooth check your opponent will check out of his usual rythm. After that, all you have to do, is to make them pay good for their draw or medium pair.

I think the same as my other teammates, aggressiveness, is the best strategy in this type of games.

Spin and goes are a really high variance game type so I think it’s really important that you play within your bankroll as well as make sure you keep a level head after you’ve lost a few in a row and make sure you don’t spew chips.

I don’t play them very often but I’ve had some success with them. I think strategically it’s important to fight over the dead money and put the pressure on your opponent. There are plenty of hands that are much easier to shove all in with than to call. Take advantage of this and you’ll win more than your fair share of pots!

My opinion

Spin and Gos should be played the same as normal poker tables. Bet two cards that can be in royal and pairs a third of time. Spin and goes are nice cause you don't have to worry about dealer button.

i think they are a waste of money...
most of the times you will win twice your buy-in for beating 2 opponents.
you could win the same amount in a heads-up sit&go for just beating 1 opponent.

It's like in a lottery. You are probably paying for someone elses jackpot win!

In my opinion, it is important to play very variably and cautiously and wait for the real strong card. There are not too many thoughts and the results are there. It is important to control the situation when we lose and not lose too much when we are not going to give up and come on the second day. And in the days when we have to go, we need to use it and play as much as we can.

Look at CC member rakeface’s thread in the challenges section, he plays them a lot and wrote a few paragraphs on his strategy recently.

the times I played I try not to rush so much at the beginning, in all the spins you can not always be aggressive, or bluff, I think it depends on the opponents, I usually try to be patient at the beginning, then I try to risk a little, but depending on the aggressiveness of the other players

Keeping track of the situation to the clearest point is the key, then you may decide which route to go, and the best jackpot will hit at some point..if not your style then keep track and remember, odds are most of the time its a bunk hand on either part, but anything can happen in poker. 4v2 cards in a three way heads up.
