Our Top Tips for playing SPINS Overdrive Sit and Go Poker
- Play lots of hands! If you are used to playing 6 or 8-handed the biggest adjustment to make 3-handed is to play more hands that you would usually – fold too much and those blinds will come round very quickly!
- Adjust! Pay attention to who is folding too much and raise their big blind more often, notice who is going all-in every hand and be prepared to call them with a wider selection of hands.
- Go all-in! For most of the tournament you will be very short stacked. Don’t bleed chips away by trying to raise small and then fold. Pick your hand and go with it!
- Play well no matter what the multiplier is! Lots of players throw it away when they don’t hit one of the bigger prizepools, take advantage of this and double your money more often.
- Work on your heads-up game! Most of the money is won during the heads-up stage. Study which hands to go all-in with and which hands to fold to have an edge during the most important stage.
Good luck in your SPINS Overdrive Poker games!
