I got back into poker recently and started playing spin and gos again. After roughly 2000 tournaments I have an ITM percentage of 35 % and I am down some 6k usd due to unlucky multipliers. My cev is a little over 40 (apparently you need 38-ish to break even).
The thing is; I know through my analysis that I play very close to GTO, just with a few exploits mixed in. There is very little room for improvement. Crucially I don't see any way you could possibly reach the 70+ cev that you supposedly need to become a crusher.
Interestingly enough, I played most of my games vs the same few regulars who were almost always online and who played a strategy close to GTO also. So there seems to be regulars still in this format. I just cannot fathom how they make any money in this and am wondering if they even do at all, or if theyre just addicts.
Would love to hear some of your experiences!
This was on IPoker 50, 100 and 200 Euro Spins.
