Just had the most epic Spin and Go Battle ever, a 30$ Buy in generated a 300 $ prize pool. After 73 hands (15 mins felt like 10 hours...., HU took just under 50 hands) I took it down against a really tough opponent. Maybe a little lucky in the end, but with 9 blinds AVG stack what do you expect...

A couple of questions:

Hand 1
Do you ever find a fold here, both villains played pretty aggro, raising nearly everything all the time...


Hand 2
Any way to get away from this one on the turn i.e. not shoving, or just a cooler?

Hand 3 Final Hand
This is just a setup given the stack sizes, no other way to play this right? Anyway even if I peel, the money goes in on the flop anyway…

hand 1 small bet on river looks good
as played readless fold imo.

hand 2 just c\f flop, but still not the worst hand to do it if you think he like passive
straight forward player.
as played i guess fine.

hand 3 i think you can flat here without reads but you said "raising nearly everything"
so shove.

Hand 1 - call
Hand 2 - wp
Hand 3 - 9bb if you dont have any read I think 3bshoving is not optimal against pop tendencies. They're going to raise a pretty tight value heavy range.
