The easiest way to win money is at Spins because there are only 3 players and often this prize can be higher. A jackpot is almost impossible... and i prefer to play this rarely. At SNGs are too sophisticated (i can't concentrate on many tables). This is real reason where i prefer tourneys.

I intend to ply a part of my bankroll at spins on PartyPoker , I will also do it on the Pokerstars , where I have some good results the last days , but only on flash edition of these spins . I think also PartyPoker has flash spins , so I ccan play them also there . I will check some games before , then I will jump into . Not that I hope to compete for the leaderboard , this would require far too many games and a bigger part of my bankroll , not possible for me and my capabilities . I will try in the micro , see how it goes ....

Well, that is another format with specific way of play. That three-handed is the top aggressive and speed way to play poker. I played it in a poker´s room which give to me ten tickets with my gift to register. I won good money with them, winning almost all of them (I think 8/10), but I never would spend my money there. Are not my favorite!

The important thing is to play what you like and to do it with pleasure. Professional players play a lot at 6-player cash tables, but i don't know if they prefer sngs. With Spins they are active and it is important for each gambler to choose which games is normal for styles he chooses.

I think that the professional players have to play the format where they can guarantee a good volume of playing. Unluckily, the poker´s room increase the option of six-handed (and now three-handed, Spins) because they have more profit with these. They could make too many tables in the same time, but I like the full ring format.

I think that most pro players love to play every way of poker,no matter is it heads up,three,six or nine players on table!they have lot of money behind them,so they dont care much against how many players they will play,they just love poker and love to play it on every way!ofcourse they prefer some ways of poker,but still they play it all!

I played on Stars (cause I have way bigger bankroll there , dedicated 40 buyins , played countless spins , it seemed countless lol , got two chests so quickly when the last I got a chest was months ago , lol . It's a very good way to generate rake quickly , and get rewards . Unfortunatelly this challenged failed , lost the 40 buyins . Ofcourse I stopped not because I lost biuyins , didn't like the way I lost many games , really crazy . Going to study these spins , watch online tables , then come back and play on Partypoker 50 buyins this time . It might take 1 month , hope they have leaderboards then as well )

Well, in a tournament you have all the situation that you can find as independent format (full-ring, six-handed, three, Heads Up), so I think that maybe natural to a pro players makes some training in them. But all of them has some speciality to play and makes money with it too easy. And, obviously, they all play big tourney ever

Professional players can play anything because they are far too evolved to deal with important situations. Their concentration and talent are the things that bring them a lot of money in tournaments, cash games or others. For them, this promotion is easy.

Yes, I don´t discuss that, but I sais another thing about the pro players. I think that they take the poker´s game as a work and a fun sport that they loved. So maybe that they choose some kind of format or a mixed game, to win the money for this period. And then, they play all the games that they like or have to play for publicity or contracts

Mixed games are rarer in most poker rooms but if such a thing suits you, then will have to look and try your luck. I haven't tried SNG and Spins in other formats and i don't even know if there is such a thing. Good luck anyway.

But this is not about spin, as I understand. It´s only to STT, despite a lot of poker´s room named the MTT like sit and go, because it only starts to run when the number of seats is filled. I like STT, and I play too much tournament (my loved freerolls) but the MTTs or the Spins are a kind of game where I´m uncomfortable, I played it several times, but are not my favorite

This days i played a little cash and noticed that i don't get points. It's probably a promotion which i didn't find out but at SNG / Spins it's okay. With Party Poker i have friends who play from other countries and everything is fine when you don't lose.

Man , I read again the article , although in the title it says spins and sngs leaderboards , in reality in the main article it only speaksa bout sngs , lol Anyway , they also have spins leaderboard , so no problem .
Now for sngs , I want to start a challenge with sngs , it will be much better , maybe also successfull , in comparison to the spins challenge which failed . I have played sngs ,I liked them in the pst , won some money , but couldn't cash out/withdraw , lol . I will play on Stars the micros 0.10 to 0.25 cents , then if successfull I will move to partypoker for the 1$ or more sngs .
It's a pity that Partypoker doesn't have sngs with less than $1 , meaning $0.10 or $0.25 or $0.55 , with multitable sngs , that means 18max or 35max or 45 max players , why not a few more , they could earn good rake from them , just my opinion . The ecosystem of sngs would be better and bankroll management would be more effective

I strongly recommended the sit and go, antonis321! And I give you an advice: 888poker have s&g of $ 0,10, 10 max, and regular speed. You can try it with all your calm, without any afraid to lost there. Is a good spot to learn the game. There are a good number of open tables and the field in that level is easy. Then, you can upgrade in a soft way to $ 0,40 and $ 1 +.

Very interesting this method. I know about it and is something concrete where you had some withdrawals? If it was profitable say how much time spent in a month with something like that? It's good or not because sometimes the time is precious...

I played , maragatero , the sngs on the 888poker , they are fine for me. These 0.10$ you are talking about , most are for fun reasons I thnk , the prize is not big , top 3 are paid , and the first one doesn't take so much . For fun I would and have played them But the $1 sngare more interesting , especially in the past I was playing some 8max with many players in it , they were good . Now I think it's the 36 players only , or sth like ths . They don't fill quickly, but they are good games to play

I told to you in the past CALICUL. In 2018 I make a try with it, starting my "career" in poker. I did what I advise now, playing 3 tables max., two hours by day; and I become $ 4 in $ 50 in a month and a half. Then I had to leave it and work more hours in my job. antonis321 perhaps I don´t understand to you. You said that you was studying poker but you lost frequently. So I think that you need to concentrate on a single kind of game and find a soft spot to makes your path to an improvement

I like it because is something nice there, but after that you do not invest all the money in tournaments for a good win of few hundred dollars? Do not expose your bankroll for a nice risk? I like to think that you'll try this in one day with a good luck.

maragatero , I have a tone of stuff to study , but I guess I am a bit lazy lol , the rythm I make progress is very slow , lol . I prefer playing , but the many losses get me back to the ground . Yesterday I had losses with the Venom Cyclone tickets , stopped , too many bad beats , crazy hands , gonna play the rest tickets not for Venom , but for sat tournaments , 3 tickets I have left , good enough . I want to start seriously , it will take a lot of time , I will be playing only freerolls , or some sngs for this challenge on stars , the rest of the time I will be studying , the time has come , lol
I will play on stars this challenge with the sngs , I want them to be $0.10 or $0.25 , multitable sngs with many players , cause I want to see my results in this firmat , try to win more money in the FT , which is not possible of they are only 9 , also build a bankroll. These lower micro limits and stakes sngs , they do not exist elsewhere unfortunatelly .Also ACR has $1 sng and more expensive , although they have $0.55$ on demand , kind of vey small field tourneys or multi table sng , they are not bad to try
Anyway , they also have spins
