Hi guys, i am playing micros u to nl10. I have a question what is the easyer way to get like 250$ per month playing Spin n Gos or cash? I know that variance in spins is huge, and also i got some material video packs for learning spins.

Spins are much softer than cash but also have higher variance

If you know your winrate in both you can calculate how many hours it takes.

But they have different bankroll requirements. It's more complicated than this.

Probably the answer is going to be whichever he has more experience with.

It isn't, your winrate is your winrate

Okay, go play the game which yields the highest winrate without other conaideratuons and see how that works out.

Maximizing winrate should never be the goal. Maximizing bankroll growth should be, otherwise I’d just play the highest stake available that I think I’m a winner at.

If forced to choose which type of game will generate $250/month income, I would opt to not play at all. Better to get a "real" job and play poker on the side for fun....if you manage to make enough to have money you can afford to lose.

Because.....there is no EASY way to make $ in poker these days, particularly online.

Cash Cash Cash. Spins are the worst, because they are the most solved. At low stakes, your EV will be within the rake vs any reg, and that format is reg infested.

This is why there are so many videos and resources available.

Spins are just lobby/bum hunting.

Learn cash. Cash is where every tourney donk comes to lose that money.

Second, spins have blind lobbies on most sites, so you can't see who's in a game when you click register. There is no lobby hunting.

I know I spelled "considerations" REALLY badly, but other than that, why?
