Hey guys,

I didn't saw any topic about this new game on stars, but it might be nice to have one to discuss this game.
So, here we go :)

I played it almost all day yesterday and must say, it's the perfect game to play on my smartphone.
It's fun, fast, and seems good for making some money to.

I started at the lowest buy-in. And you can basically say, that as soon you make it to the next stage, you're freerolling that round.

Going back to normal tables after playing it for hours is a bit tricky tho.. My play is way too loose after that shoving fest

Anyone of you tried it out and what do you think?

I didn't think of playing it on my phone.

I can't play it on my desktop because I don't have the new graphics engine (Aurora) installed

Give it a try. It's perfect for a relaxed #2 πŸ˜πŸ˜‰

It looks like fun, but most likely a variance heavy format.

It is. But it's pretty soft to.
Made it to the final level starting at the lowest.
Didn't win that one unfortunately...
But made about 60 bucks from bounties total that run. For a 1 dollar buyin.

I'm playing it for 3 days now and am making good money. And I am not even a sitngo player. Don't know a thing about shoving ranges or so.. I play cash games normally.
But just doing what seems to makes sense works out for me so far.

Since cash games are the foundation of poker, this makes sense.
If you make the next step and learn the ICM part of small-field tournaments, you'll do even better.

Best of luck :gl:,

I think it is an amazing format, also it is easy to beat the rake u only pay for the first step. Also the variance isnt that bad since u outset some of it with the bounties sometimes u can have long stretches where u are losing buy ins but those bounties u get from time to time lower the lost money

Well, I'm down 100 buying this weekend playing the 1s..
I just can't win a single flip.. hell, not even the 70/30s roll my way.

So variance can be pretty brutal.
But as long as we get the best hand in, we should grab some wins eventually πŸ™‚
