Like many I have been quite reluctant to play the spin and gos and have instead carried on grinding the hypers. Right now I feel like even the $15 hyper games on stars has a significantly higher reg to rec ratio. The hypers are obviously very beatable anyway but with a bunch of guys beating the spin and gos comfortably it seems like transitioning to these may mean more $$$ in the long run. Am I wrong?

If only there was a thread with 1600 posts about it....

Im sure there are many relevant posts in that thread but wouldnt say all them apply to my question.

Like turbos vs hypers, you don't really need to commit fully to one.

Yes, 3 handed you'll have a lot to learn, but the heads up portion of spins will be dual learning if you're studying hypers.

Same with the end game of turbos vs hypers.

Right now it seems plenty are making good money in both. There are opinions every few posts in that huge thread about how long it will last for (weeks, months, years). Nobody really knows. Many of the actual regs in turbos complained about hypers when they came out, saying they'd die off within a year and/or were too high variance and/or a lot of luck. Those guys now have to wipe the egg from their faces daily in order to see their computer monitors and grind

No telling if naysayers will be correct this time, just pointing out that there's often heavy resistance to change in the poker world (even within a single game format, I think human nature is to try to "freeze" the state of things once you've reached a successful point).

I think more and more people will go for spin@gos in the next several months.
The winners will keep playing until they hit the wall... to much money going out of these games to random players based on luck.
The others will experiment low winnings and huge variation and they will come back to heads-up ...and first choice will be hypers (I don't imagine spin and go players going for reg/turbo speed HU).
I imagine that in the next several monts the reg/rec ratio will be crazily high...but after this period it will be the opposite. Even the weakest fish will realize that winning at Spins it's very difficult and they will gamble at hypers instead.

This is just my opinion on this subject and I'm quite new in HU format, so take it for what it is

I think the fish are likely to understand or believe they have a bigger chance at a big score in spin and gos than in hypers so I don't see them returning. And at the hypers I am pretty much playing regs atm and just scraping a profit pre rakeback. I work on my game close to everyday I am just starting to question if this format is the right one.

not understanding why 15s hu hypers players are complaining about reg volume. its my main game and i would have to estimate im getting 90% fish at least. as for spins, i would say you need a pretty good mental game as the swings are crazy and hitting 20 2x multipliers in a row is discouraging as can be. the action is pretty amazing though.

Have you earned your way into a division yet?

Is 20 2x in a row really discouraging for the same type of person that can handle a bad week/month of hyper turbos without blinking an eye?

I mentioned reg volume because I have been running pretty poor for the last couple of days which has me a little frustrated however I am not really complaining, I play everybody and rematch everybody. So technically, I could play much less regs if I wanted to but thats besides the point. I do it because I want to get better, but now I am questioning this mentality because I am unsure this is the best format to be playing or to get good at compared to spins.

No I haven't still in the process of building my roll to take the shot. I have been pretty comfortably moving up the stakes so $15s shouldnt be where I hit a wall I don't think.
