hi Kris how are you
I have played it, no need to try it sucks, there is a stack of starting 300, and there is no advantage to playing it

Hi Krista

I have seen these games , haven't tried them yet , so I can't say definetelly/absolutely for sure if they are better than normal structure spin and goes . But generally I tend to like the idea that these games are faster . I mean spin n goes have great variance , I would play them only for fun , or because I have a ticket in such kind of games particularly in partypoker .
So I would prefer it faster , eliminating the advantage of a skilled/better player who in more hands could pick the spots to call/shove/manipulate you .

In such games it's more gambling , so imo I would have more chances to win with my tickets if such format existed/will exist in party . Now when I have such ticket most of the times I lose (raise , calll and lose to bad beats/ or bluffs , so better faster and finish quickly with all ins by the players , hehe . At least they are not like the blast tournaments format in 888poker , forced all ins after three-four hands , which are failure imo )
I will try them tomorrow to satisfy my curiosity

I think Spins are already random enough, and the flash spins are full of players going all in every hand until it’s over. Check it out at the low stakes for fun but avoid for serious money making

I played 2 times and I didn't like it, I prefer SpinGo with 500 chips.

I like them they are fun, I find them easier. The decisions are less stressful than the regular ones and with the speed of games I can rattle of a bunch of them in no time at all. Hit a 25X yesterday sadly shoved K10 into AK first hand.

Same 8% rake on lower levels I have not played the larger ones

Flash is a lot easier for beginners than the regular ones. You need a good push/fold game and a little luck. Don't really need a HUD for this format.

I don't think it would be around although the action at least on smaller levels have been more than I expected.

The rake is quite high for such short game and I can see the spin n go regulars not playing them because of rake and the fact that the shallowness of the game really levels off the playing field.

After the first 2 levels (1 min level) there is no post flop wiggle room you play almost exclusively pre-flop. The good spin n go players are good post players and most of their edge comes from it. Without this edge and same rake I don't think the game will survive.

Without this edge and same rake I don't think the game will survive.

There is a good chance, this new game is essentially unbeatable. However unbeatable games can easily exist. All casino games are unbeatable, and people know this, but they still continue to play them. In poker there is also the factor, that it takes a long time to know your true winrate. So even people, who are trying to be long term winners, can spend a lot of time playing games, they are not beating, because they think, they are only losing due to variance.

Its faster to win or lose.I guess it's better not waiting for low prices lol

No poker game is unbeatable.

Spin&go is already a hyper-turbo format, so this new version is just one step before one hand, winner-take-it all sit'n'gos on 888 poker or Blast tournaments there.

I accidentally registered to one and I plan on that one staying the only one for me.

 

[canabero]

for mental issues, some time ago i decided to stop playing spin & go

 

[Edison A]

They are very unprofitable

 

[619Leafs]

I tried and there is no skill to it just luck. Simply not good.

 

[greatgame230]

I have not tried it yet but for the characteristics they present it is preferable to play the free tournaments of the challenges such as the spin and win shoutout tournament, all all-in and in one hand it's over, for me regular spin and go are not good business but these flash is just betting and no poker at all, I repeat this only by the description I read I do not like this type of games therefore I do not waste my time and money on them

 

[Polytarp]

Try it for yourself. This is a lottery. Poker is a game of skill... this is not poker.

 

[Maple_syrup]

I've decided to stop playing flash /Max and others of the kind. People don't play real poker in there. Some will shove with 3-6 offsuit preflop and beat aces, kings etc. It's pure bingo in there. So damn frustrating.

 

[StArDemonn]

yeah it s a all in /fold strategy ,if you have good hand go all in.,If you fell lucky you should play this types of games.

 

[FernA9ndo]

Variance is a pain. This new game is good on Pokerstars. But I do not choose to play them because of bankroll.
