What do you think about Spin & Go?

[terryk]

I disagree with everyone who says it is based on luck.


I believe it is a more skilled game than regular MTT.


Why I say so in a regular MTT you sit and wait for a AA or hand like this, in spin n go format you must be able to win hands it 57 and K3.


Which do you think takes more skill winning a pot with AA or 57?

They say it`s luck because their losing at them,so it`s bad luck i guess :dontknow: I have a love/hate thing with spinners,,i love winning them and building my BR fast,but hate the beats you take from bad players. :banghead:

When you choose tournaments, Spin & Go, you participate in tournaments with various prize funds. This means that your results will largely depend on your luck in those tournaments where you are lucky in the beginning, and baiyin was increased.It means a greater dependence on luck, and the ability to play poker goes by the wayside.
I don't like them and rarely play,when there is hope for a big multiplier ,it is sometimes possible to test your luck.

Don't know. Can't play on poker stars

 

[frnandoh]

In my opinion is the best way to begin in poker

 

[vapandrei]

20c spins are useless, 1usd is cool if you don't hit 12 2x spins in a row like I did, 2.75 are also good, the rest is pretty much throwing cash away imho.

Agree


It is super annoying to loose to bad players who get extremely lucky.

Spin'n'go are slowly but surely killing what purists call "poker".
I don't call this poker, I call this lottery

 

[Nikka18]

I like spin and go. How it's just 3 players it's easy to win. I don't really like tournaments with plenty people. Because I does hardly win. Lol

 

[iriska]

I do not like them. lottery, especially for 0,25!

 

[cazual88]

It is not a poker game. It is a casino game. Even online video slots have more chance to win than Spin'n'Go.

 

[AKQ]

It is definitley a lotteryish format but is fun if you are NOT a amateur player trying to survive playing poker

 

[Jamuka7657]

I think spin and goes are fun but you can burn through your bankroll quickly. I would only play with a ton of buy-ins.

 

[Stacker]

For me they are like a slot machine.allows you to win big with small buy in

 

[popstani]

I play them a lot, specially when don’t have time for tournament. You need to have good bankroll and they are profitable only on long run.

 

[Alkovalenko]

I don't like these back

 

[natasha555]

I do not like to play it very despersion.

 

[rsimms]

I used to really like Spin and Go's. I thought they were exceptional training for short stack play, shoving ranges, and short handed play, and the micro Spin and Go's were relatively soft. However, after looking into some SpinNG strategy (there is some on this site), I realized how much of an uphill battle it is to come out ahead when playing them because you have to battle the high variance with the highest rake on the pokerstars site, so I am going to stay away from them from not on, and if I am looking for fast paced games to try a 6-max turbo, or hyper, or something like that.

Ok, I don't get how spins are casino-like games. Sure, if you buy in for a dollar and expect to spin 1000$, your place is in the slots section. Spin n Gos are just your average sit n gos with with a variable rake. If you'd play a 3h 1USD sng, hypothetically, what would be the 1st prize? 2,25ish? 2,50? Well, in a spin you're guaranteed a 2 and you'll get, in general, at least a 4$ once every 5 games?

And my issue with people saying that it's a lottery goes a bit further. If you spin a 10, 25, 100x.. you'll still have to play good poker to grab the prize. And mind you, it's short stacked so you need a completely differeny approach.


Spin and go Max is a different story. There you have 3 """random""" prizes, you have 30ish hands to play until you're in bingo mode. That's more like casino. And even there you need to forge a biy of strategy, and play a bit of poker to win consostently.

is disgusting this sit and go , hope is scam

lol, that happened to me a few times too. It's really, really stupid. I don' know if they are aware of how idiotic it is to win a tourney and get 1.50x while the second place got a GTD 2.50x.


Retarded. THAT'S �� CASINO ��!

Since then, if I want to play spin, I'm only on play money it"s more safe )

But like I said in the post above, you have the classic spins, not this bullshhhh..

 

[Manifestor]

all I can say about such tournaments is bingo, nothing to do with the quality of your game

 

[wilpinsi]

I disabled this game format, I think very risky, when analyzing I see that in the long run, this format is not profitable
