Today SpinLegends Head Coach coffeeyay returns with a very important video that should fill in a lot of gaps in your Spin & Go knowledge. 

Just how big a factor is variance in Spin & Go? Today our coach takes a deep dive into this topic. Not only do you have the variance of three handed shallow stack poker, you also have the variable prize pools to contend with. 

Variance is such a big factor in Spins that we offer our SpinLegends members EV Insurance so that they can avoid the biggest problems caused by swings. 

Today our coach discusses how to use SwongSim software, bankroll management and the trap of getting false feedback in Spins, as well as much more.
