playing 5000 $2 spin n gos in 1 month on WPN - Page 2 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Are these things even beatable over the long run? Ive played quite a few and there seems to be very little skill involved, its not even poker really. You played 1300 and are up 9$, that should say something, no?

Very beatable. I just switched skins from BCP to Pokerhost. On Bcp i played around 1800 of these same games and am up almost $500 for a 15% roi. Im running extremely bad right now and am still even on this challenge. Think about a "normal" sng: many people would be delighted with a 15% roi in them.I would say in these $2 spinners, probably only 10% of people are winners in them because they have no patience,cant take all the beats, and have a terrible shove/fold game.

These take up most of my play as well, I do some MTT and cash just to do something different as well. I wish you luck, I am up 30 bucks or so today. Two $12 jackpots and two $8 back to back.

Thanks for all the responses,i enjoy reading them. I'm at 2025 games for the month and up $73. Sharkscope is 700 games behind lol, so i'll wait until it catches up some before posting another graph. I tried a hour session of 6 tabling, didnt feel comfortable,missed too many spots and lost $41 that hour. Back to 4 tabling for me.

6 tabling is rough, I usually do 3-4 depending if my games have regs everytime or not.

Do you use any software for multi tabling?

GL!

I dont. I did at first a few months ago when i started playing the spinners, but have since stopped. I find for me that if i base my play on pure math and do the same things over and over, in the longterm math will prevail over any meta game tendecies vs others in these small buyins. There are a few regs in these though that i can 3bet jam light against and know they will fold a high % of the time. Right now im running terrible last 1k games or so and still slightly up. With good shove/fold play, these games can easily net you a 10-15% roi.

Did you ever figure out how to get the graphs uploaded? I'm curious to see the EV line. Have you qualified for the rake race each week? I would imagine so as it only takes 900+games in a week.

Did you turn HHs on in the new client? I did the same thing when I switched to ACR and then realized I never added a folder.

Hope i dont sound too cocky or arrogant Frank but 10-15% roi in these is absolutely doable. Graph below is the 2 names i play under. 1st name- im running almost 14% roi and never had a spin higher than $16. 2nd name- im running so bad its not funny and still have a decent roi.

Im doing this 5k games in a month as a challenge, but i also have been playing these for awhile. Good way for me to play after work and make extra money. Some play mtts, some regular sngs, some cash games. This just happens to be what i like playing now. The amount of beats you take in these is staggering, hence why most cant/wont grind these.

Could be you're right, 3k games really not alot in the spectrum of things. Once i get to 10k games in a few months, i think that will define my expectation a little better.

Got in 141 games today for a total of 2521 games this month. Won $12 today, but this could have been one of those $50-$75 days easily. Played 9 $12 games and won 1. Running really really bad the last week, but its a good thing to run bad and still be ahead. Total profit now is $131.

Games today: 138

overall for month:2659

profit today: $16

profit on month: $147

Two weeks to go to meet my monthly goal of $500 profit [pre rakeback]. At this point id give it a 30% chance i make it. The rollercoaster ride of these games are unreal. Lose 15 in a row, grind it back, lose 10 in a row lol. You learn alot about yourself playing so many of these high variance games. I'll say this: When i play a few mtts again and take a few beats, the impact will be minimal emotionally.

Definitely going to fail on the 5k game goal. Some things came up at work that had me working an extra 3-5 hours a day for the last 5 days and i've barely gotten any games in. Shame too, i was going to hit that 5k easily. Currently at 2718 games and $162 profit. Sharkscope is caught up, but they are missing ALOT of games, they have me at 2088 games. I should still get in close to 4k games by the end of the month, i'll post final numbers then.

Big fail on the 5k games in 1 month. My job got in the way lol. Below graph is missing a few hundred games from sharkscope, but its close enough. I did reach my goal of .10 a game, so thats a postive.
