Hello mobsters, this is your blogger westside1950 writing (dknight217 on Pokerstars), I hope you all had good and successful week. I wrote about a week ago about my plan to go and play Spin&Go's on Pokerstars.
I played 25-30 1$ Spin&Go's for a few days and I couldn't get more profit then a lousy 1$ a day. It's really hard, swings are brutal - at one moment you are a huge chip leader and t[...] Read more » ''Accept rematch?''

I agree with the rematch theory because i have fallen for this many times over the years when i should have just left the table and moved on but my pride wouldnt allow me and its ended up costing me

Sometimes i will accept rematch as my ego is big as the other kid just played me out and i want to get back at him and will try to better him but most of the time i end up losing money and him winning several more before me giving up saying he is good , anyway good luck if you rematch better be the one to initiate it rather than the one to accept it, anyway good luck again and have fun playing sng heads up cheers guys!

I agree with your statement..."why play someone good when other bad players are available".I know I am not the best poker player so if someone out classes me at the table I will accept it and move on to greener pastures. I would think HU SNGs can get very mentally challenging if you keep losing,especially if you think that he is not even that good at poker.

Hi mates. The thing here is maybe, clear your head and get out of tilt, just because you lose a head-up game, why play again against the same player, when you can go futher and defeat other player, and learn how to play diferent, against diferent players with diferent strategies. Yes i agree that many players accept play again against the same oponnent, for pride, because win and think that can do again, or just for the play, to earn fpps or make roi, i dont know, but every one is a diferent player and have diferent strategies, and that is much better to work your on game.

Hi, i stopped playing these spins after i got a nice promo from Stars. At first, i entered with $30 and i started playing the $3 buy-in Spins, but when i got to $10 without winning a single SnG, i decided to move on to the $1 buy-in. There i managed quite well, although realizing everything you tell on your post. Loosing with great hands without doing anything wrong. I also realized i only won on the lower prizes. The rare times when the prize was $4 or $6, i ended up loosing a run that would compromise the rest of the game. After that, i got a promo and i doubled the bonus cash, which means i was able to recover what i have lost playing the $3 buy-ins.

The most mentally challenging format of poker, definitly. You play every hand and have to be 100% all the time. Few times my concentration went down and I found myself at 500 chips with making a bunch of stupid calls. So yes, it can be pretty damn hard

Accepting rematch? I think you must first know if you are better than your opponents before doing as otherwise you will only and only lose your cash but I usually never rematch if I'm beaten or won by huge luck after having being outplayed...
