tldr; been playing spins semi-pro, was doing pretty good at 30s(check graph) then stopped playing for a while and now back due to coronavirus outbreak.

My goals right now is to turn few bucks i had left on pokerstars to $5k within 4 months or if some stable will get interested to join them (spins/mtts)



$150 and under
- $2 spins
- ABI $3 sng/mtts
$150 to $750
- $5 spins
- ABI $6 sng/mtts
$750 to $2500
- $10 spins
- ABI $10 sng/mtts
$2500 to $5000
- $25 spins
- ABI $20 sng/mtts


STARTING BANKROLL: $32
GOAL: $5000

im gonna try very aggro BRM until i reach around $150 because i will reload once if i go broke with initial bankroll.

Update #1

we flew thru $2 stakes



on $5 spins doing not bad so far, seems like traffic there is even worse now then it was long time ago. Im playing 4 to 6 tables where i open 6 tables for instance then finish them and start another 6, i like playing this way.



not much luck in micro mtts so far but they are lotterys with few thousands players so might wait a bit to bink one, but for now focusing more on spins to build up bankroll.
Also received from stars exclusive poker challenge where i get $200 for generating 2500 points (so far got ~500) it will be a nice boost to the bankroll


BANKROLL: $297.32

Good Going LLcoolJ.

Goodluck on your challenge

Thank you

Update #2

Another great session



BANKROLL: $537.32

Update #3

still going strong in 5s



dropped ~$120 in mtts on sunday tho


BANKROLL: $661.37

Update #4

Overall stats from 5s:


going great so far, decided to stay on 5s until i reach 1.5k to be more safe


BANKROLL: $856.56

Update #5

Very good session with good volume so can't complain



also finally managed to clear Pokerstars exclusive challenge so got extra $200 and bankroll is looking nice. Last few days couldnt play because of moving and now i will have to stay in quarantine for 13 more days so im going to grind hard and earn as much as possible, plan is to play at least 200 spin and go's a day + some mtts

Im thanking aswell about playing for a week without looking at Cashier

BANKROLL: $1316.56

Hi.very good results and keep going with your challange.. i am new in this poker world and also in spin and go format. can u point me from where can i learn some stuff to improve my game? do you have some charts that u follow or you just exploit the pool?

Hi, thank you a lot, im mostly using my experience, i dont use any charts but im thinking of creating some on my own for flash games,if i were u i would try to find some free material on youtube or twitch as if ur beginner u probably wont be able to join a stable, also play a lot to get experience

Another Update, been around 2 weeks since last one and i almost forgot about this thread so here we go:

https://i.imgur.com/49WYwcO.png this graph shows spins flash only from $5s to $10s as i started adding them aswell

I have been playing more spin&go flash version as i wanted to see how i will do there and get used to playing those as i might want to try spins on similiar format on GGPoker as they have great promos for them where u basically get 100% rb

also cleared another $200 bonus from stars

BANKROLL: $2605

i think i will keep playing 10s untill i reach around $5k or more as i want to have 200bi+ for higher stakes

as a side note i have managed to win satty to $109 3.5m sunday mill scoop and reached day 2 that i will be playing today so the bankroll might increase nicely if i get to paid places, gl me!

dam man, great run so far, I'm doing a cash grind atm but been thinking about spins as I do like the format. GL Sub'ed

hi.again,great resultsi have some questions for u sir:what brm do you recommend for a newbie to feel safe./how many tables do you play? and can u tell me your avg spins per hour on normal and fast games??ty in advance

thank you, for me spins are best to build bankroll


for a newbie i would go as far as 200+ if you are just starting, i play ranging from 5 to 12 tables but i play them in series meaning i start 12 then finish them and start another 12 etc, on flash spins i can do around 100-130 games an hour, on normal spins its around 50-70

Update

I just had an amazing session on 10s flash spins, winning around 75 bi also last time i said im in day 2 of an scoop 109 main event, i managed to make it to the ITM and scooped around $233 + some stars rewards and my bankroll is now pretty legit considering i play only 10s



BANKROLL: $3651.18

also my next session will be on GGPoker because i have made some calculations and with welcome bonus and their rewards system + spins promo you can get over 100% rb and i want to try it, will let u know in next post how did it go

i had my first session on GGPoker, i decided to play 5s to test everything out and unfortunately playing stacked and in series there isnt good way to make good hourly as the tables load up slower so i was playing constantly 8 tables and played around 120 games per hour which is not bad and i will stick with that for now, today will play 10s there and see how it goes. On 5s ive made profit of $115 including all the RB.

ATM on GGpoker i will have 50%rb from deposit bonus (up to $1200), up to50% rb from fish wheel and around 40% rb from spins challenges so its pretty sick, im not even counting the leaderboard that i will go for next week, there is a chance for 200% RB LOL

On monday i will take a shot on the weekly spins leaderboard and my plan is to go for around 800 spins a day, will see how i do

also take a look at my mtt graph so far from this challenge, i guess thats why im not playing them that often lately, run is very bad



BANKROLL: $3766.18

Nice Stuff, and tell us more about GG Poker.

I dont know how do you playing there 8 tables. I have played there 6 tables and client crashed and i was unable to log back

i have managed to play 10 tables yesterday, after adding 11th the software crashed.

So im after 1st session on 10s and also tried 20s for one short sesh to check how will i do and it was pretty good overall. I have made profit of $957,71‬ overall on GGPoker (friday and saturday)
this is the breakdown of winnings there:
$210 deposit bonus + $332.1 rewards(spin challenge+fish buffet) = $542.1
+ profit from tables $415.61 so it seems like a solid 2 days, but unfortunately i dropped around $200 on spins at pokerstars because i tried to make it to next vip level and played few 25s which wasnt great idea.

im taking break on sunday and will start hard grind from monday to sunday next week to battle it out in leaderboard for extra cash, plan is to play 800 games a day but im not sure if it will be 10s or 20s yet

BANKROLL: $4341.71‬

Yes good thing is there are nice rb

The bad thing is you are against 2 regs all the time. Not much rec players 20,50-s
And i wonder how do you cope crashes so well.
Basically, if the client crashes, you are not able to log back for a while, therefore you just lose 8 buy-ins

Great results! So I assume you clearly believe the flash/hyper turbo spins on stars is beatable despite having same rake as normal spins?

hyper spins are beatable, if u are against 2 fish
I doubt about fish+reg combo
against 2 regs you are pracycally gto bots against each other.

very nice run man, keep up the great work.

Thank you guys,

Its time for a summary of weekly challenge on GGPoker,
i must say unfortunately it wasnt as great as i thought it would be, the games are mostly played against 2 other people that try to get high on leaderboard so it was hard to make any profit also the RB that i thought would be very high, wasnt that high, as i found out that because of having deposit bonus u get less points for Fish Buffet so basically 50% rake goes to clearing deposit bonus and 50% for fish buffet so basically big cut to the rakeback that i thought i was getting. I couldnt make any profit thru the games so i relied on the rakeback. Thankfully i managed to get 5th place in leaderboard to win $1060 and that made the profit for the week, not a bad paycheck for a week work but i dont think i will keep playing there considering thats a big of a hustle to play everyday even when u dont feel like playing.



I actually hit the goal i have set in this challenge but i will probably continue this thread until i hit 10k just because its nice to go back to these post and see my own progress.


START DATE 4/20 ($32)
FINISH DATE 06/01

BANKROLL NOW: $5370,61‬

Thx for feedback
I had almsot same thoughts
Only hope was 100% rb which isnt nearly 100%?
If 100% rb then i can play against some 2 regz who might have some loops in the game..but they are marginal. Weekend games i could have far better still

I am sure all leaderboard regulars can't beat prerake

Yeh unfortunately the rb % is some kind of personal ****, meaning that if you play good you get less rb lol but all in all i think i would have different strategy for this leaderboard and focus more on sat/sun where you get more points. I finally could take a look at graphs because GG allowed to download handhistory in bulks and this is graph from the week of play:



so basically i run so bad and had around 37k chips under the EV which is crazy considering you averagely start with like 250-275 chips

I decided to cashout for living and some expenses + a trip with gf and will start again with $2500 BANKROLL and goal is to make it to $15000 after all expenses till the end of the year and playing mostly $10s + mtts with ABI $15-$20

good news also i received $625 (50% rb) bonus to clear which is nice, im still thinking where to play and if to go for leaderboard again on GG because im almost at max lvl in fish buffet which means 50% rb so it would be extra $ (around $300 if counting the week from leaderboard)
