Do you know any good (as in profitable/high skilled) streamers who play BLAST sit'n'gos on 888 or some other Spin formats? Would be interesting to watch some of those, as I am breakeven with rakeback in US 888 spins despite been highly profitable in MTT's and normal Sit'n'gos with a large sample size. So, it would be interesting to see what some crushers are doing right.

What is the rake and structure on US 888?

if it similar to what ROW has to offer - rake between 6 and 9% and ~95% of games being this



If you break even you might be the crusher :P I dont think any semi-respectable staker/stable stakes for these as they seem quite hard to beat. If its super juicy probably the best players will be able to break even, win slightly. But it has little in common with spins on pokerstars or party in terms of playability.

I wont mention the "fast blast" version as its beyond doubt unbeatable

Well, the rake is not particularly high for me. I play primarily $28+2 BLASTS on US 888/WSOP. I then get 40% RakeBack (being highest tier/WSOP Supernova Elite effectively) of 80 cents from each $30 BLAST and also utilize deposit bonuses whenever available. So, that means that for me those BLASTS are roughly $28.95+1.05, definitely not an outrageous rake. I also did hit 4 100x ones out of 7,000 BLASTS in 2019 (but no 1000x and 10000x unfortunately). So, its not like I did not realize any of my med/high multiplier equity although of course you need to hit 1000x and 10000x, to be running above EV for a given year in a large volume.

But coming back to the original question - would appreciate links of some streamers playing those. While the formats have differences, I am sure I would have quite a bit to learn from those playing other Spins, whether it be BLASTS or Spin'n'go's.

Why not play some actual poker instead?

I play plenty of actual poker. About 500 online MTT's, 40 live MTT's and 500 hours of live cash games so far this year.

I play these BLAST games mostly when I am playing an online MTT or 2 already. They help me reach the 888/WSOP.com equivalent of Supernova Elite and also give me a Diamond Card status for Caesars Entertainment casinos. The thing is I would enjoy them more if I was actually able to make some profit in them rather than be a slight loser before rakeback and deposit bonuses and just barely been able to breakeven after rakeback and deposit bonuses. I have an almost 90% ROI in MTT's, and while BLASTS involve a lot of luck, I see some extremely bad players in my pool, so I know there are some things I could improve on to achieve better results.
