It takes five minutes to learn but a lifetime to master.                                

Poker is such a complex game that even seasoned pros have not been able to find a perfect strategy yet. Even though your game matures over time, your strategy will never be really "perfect".

Novice poker players have a high error frequency and errors always cost money. In order to help you take your first steps in poker, we've developed a beginner strategy for Spin & Gos. It can be learnt within one hour but is nonetheless already profitable against weak opponents at the lower limits.

Spin & Gos are played with few big blinds in your chip stack. That enables us to use a mathematically optimised "Push or Fold" strategy, which means either going all-in or folding. The weak competition consisting of a lot of gamblers won't be capable of detecting and attacking any weaknesses in this strategy.

The strategy will protect you against big mistakes, and instead you will even gain an edge on your opponents right at the beginning of your poker career. Head over to our strategy section now and take a look at the respective article:

The strategy is just the starting point

The strategy is also a solid foundation for your career at the green felt. You can systematically improve and adjust single elements later on:

Joining hands with a raise at the beginning of a Spin & Go instead of just pushing or folding, improving your "Push or Fold" strategy for the late stage of the tournament, and beginning to include information on your opponents in your decisions.

After a few months you will be able to compete against better opponents on higher limits, while also having boosted your starting bankroll.

We wish you lots of success for the start of your poker career with Spin & Gos!
