I was kicked out on the bubble from SnG and tilted, joined $1 spinNgo and won in one hand. I thought I'll lose this hand but called because I was angry.

I use to play a lot of 4 man double or nothing turbos on Ipoker and have won games without even playing a hand or knocked out two players in the first hand but I have also been knocked out in the first hand as well.

congrats that is how most spin n go play that is why i hate them , if i want to gamble i would lose my money on roulette but i assume this was 2$ prize pool because no one would push all-in with these hands if it was like 3000$ anyway keep up the good work , why not you won the jackpot like your fellow countryman who won one Million out of those good luck

Cheers you won in the end this is what counts, though you ought to be careful in the future as you might put your bankroll on the line for one sng and lose it, so be careful and be more disciplined as the money will always come in the long term if you playing well, in the short term there is too much variance and you have to deal with losing steak and so on, anyway peace out mate have fun at the tables hope you do well and make us proud!

Very nice and congratulations for that, but this is only possible in spin n goes. I have alway thought that this is all about luck and has not much to do with your skill lever or your poker experience and that is why I do not like it.

GG first of all, its a very nice achivement, but this is only possible on spin n go. My think about that kind of tournaments is all about luck and has not much to do with skill or your poker experience and that is why i do not like it and do not play them. But for some guys is a good thing, and sometimes a good bust to the bankroll.

Posted by bowie1984: Nice, but don't forget tilting better treated offline with some additional wallpunching..
Once I punched a wall too hard and blood vessel burst in my hand and under the skin had accumulated a lot of blood. I immediately forgot about "poker" and my tilt has gone Now I'm afraid to hit the walls.

Contrary to suggestions they are all luck, one grinder has shown over a big sample that Spin & Go can be beaten. PokerStars player, ‘Bighusla’, has helped to show that they can be a profitable format. Last month he placed a bet that he could play over 5,000 $30 Spin & Go tournaments and have a chip expected value (cEV) of 8.5%. He must have put some real effort into his calculations, because he ended the prop bet after 5,054 games with a cEV of 8.8% and real money winnings of just under $11,000.
