Spin and Go's

Posted 8 years ago

2 questions.
Any strategy on SPIN and GO's aka Jackpot Poker on ACR ?It seems to me that an aggressive strategy is optimal, namely because: A. You start off with around 25bb and B. When you have the chance to play games with a high multiplier (Ex. turning 10% dollars to 200$) most weak players will assume they need to tighten up and just hope for a strong hand that plays itself because they really want to win that money.

Secondly, do spin and go games qualify as negative EV from the start? I feel like I've had a decent winrate with just being aggressive in these but I'm not sure if my time would be better suited to cash games, heads up and single table sngs, what I usually play.

I'm just looking to add a new game type to skill-set and spin and gos are truly a lot of fun but I don't want to continue doing them if they just seem to be fun and not profitable.

Any suggestions appreciated!!

I am no pro when it comes to these or spin and go's but i played a fair few on ACR and even won a $800 jackpot!

For me i just sat back and did not a lot tbh. People just kept making huge mistakes and it really just comes down to push/fold charts and understanding calling ranges. I used neither but had an idea of what to do and ran with it.

I'd deffs say there is a ton of money to be made from these tho but like anything gotta grind them hard and study.

I'd love to find a coach for VIP who grinds these...will be on the look out!
