Anyone?
Shoving >70% hands heads up as the big stack is a profitable and pretty unexploitable strategy. Very few of the shortstack's hands can call, as if they bust they wont be ITM. The reason regs who have shortstack shove every hand is to eliminate the opportunity for the big stack to shove over their limp/minraise.
Spin & Go's are really easy to beat tbh. Remember your fundamentals--play tight from the blinds and loose in position. This means stealing 100% from the button and playing tight especially in the big blind. People are playing way too many hands from the BB imo. When you flat a BTN or SB steal with weak hands like K7o, Q8s, you have to checkfold most flops and you're just burning money. Its better to play 3bet (shove)/fold from the BB imo. You might think its good to flat sometimes when SB steals, but its hard to play profitably postflop when you don't have the initiative. There are just too few hands that are profitable from that position.
In the SB on the other hand you never want to 3bet. With your premium hands the best way to get money in is to flat a BTN steal and induce a squeeze from the BB. With all your premiums in your flatting range, you can also flat a lot of weak hands. I like to defend around 50% from the SB.
You're welcome.
