Great video, Tommo! It's really nice to see content geared towards beginners. Your charisma and teaching style make it even better. Looking forward to the next ones (hope there are many more).
Glad you liked it. If there is any other content you would like to see just let us know in our comments. Gl at the tables, hope the $0.25 Flash Spins grind has been treating you well the last couple weeks!
Out of curiosity, what’s your actual experience playing $1 spins? How many tables over how many months? My experience seems vastly different. It’s well and nice to show us ONE table where everything goes your way playing a rare non-maniac player. The advice is otherwise fairly basic if not simplistic. It will not beat the $1 field on PS international. A useful guide would be to give some practical tips beating the field. How do you deal with the masses of UK, Irish, Canadian and NZ based accounts that limp/limp-call everything (literally from 9-4o to AKs, no matter the 3-bet or stack depth)? How do you deal with the Brazil based maniacs? You’ll find regular players (i.e. players that you play over and over again) aplenty at $1. And those you play once and never see again are there to play bingo, not Poker. Odds, PSR, ranges etc… are most probably alien words for a fair chunk and they play for the thrill of hitting that flop (be it 3rd pair, that’s good enough). The reality is that the micro spins are a high variance environment. Claiming it’s beatable to a set expected level of profit per month is misleading, especially based on that one « live » example. But I get that’s it’s hard to be more specific in a 13 minutes video.
@@owaridagaming8295 Me? Around 3.5k spins so far this year. At $1, $2 and $5. Why? I am not the one giving advice. I wanted to know what is the volume at this limit to be able to understand how he can generalise about « what you should do at this limit ». Again, sound advice, but very limited in terms of practical things to do. « Don’t go crazy » is not specific to $1 spins. It’s common stuff, good stuff, but common for a video entitled « Essential Poker Tips » where you’re told you can allegedly make X hundred dollars a month applying them. Look this guy is busy making good content at various limits. I just doubt that he spent too much time at $1 before making this video, that’s all. And I can be wrong, hence the question.
So thank-you very much for the comment GGM! You are absolutely fair to be somewhat cynical about random RUclips claims and of course the single game played here is not very representative of a $1 long term play. I've played 10,000s of low stakes games historically (my very first Spins were a few hundred $1 games in late 2014, then 10,000s of $7 & $15 Spins in 2015/16). The field in those days were on average far less professional than similar stakes today so I can certainly appreciate your experience with the various player types and maniacs! In terms of more recent experience, I've worked with a number of players playing $1 - $5 stakes and looking at results since 2023. The few regs who have put in volume at the $1 Spins have achieved 60 - 105 cEV with 1k+ samples for reg speeds, and for $1 flash speeds there are multiple Regs who have played more than 50k games (!) since 2023, with cEVs of 18-35. So hope you can see where the attainable cEVs have come from. You're absolutely right that the advice is broad; but unfortunately if I could distill every strategy to beat the $1 Spins into a 13 minute video and it was implementable for everyone watching I would (A) be a much better coach than I am now! and (B) be out of a job because the Spins would be too solved to play professionally. Hope those answered some of your questions, thanks for the comment and best of luck on your Spins journey! ~Tommo x
@@Team651Poker Thanks for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate it actually. Look, my « saltiness » definitely came from stumbling upon your video after a « bad day at the tables ». And in that mood, the video sounded too rosy where all is easy in the $1 spins world 😅. My biased perception, that’s all. I don’t have nearly as much volumes under my belt, and I am light years away from these types of results. My poor results are only fuelled by my bad plays, no questions about it. But I was/am still sceptical about how someone can consistently be profitable in this environment (micro stakes spins), based on my experience. Accounts you see often, you can adapt to, no problem. But a fair chunk of players, as I said, seem to come to play bingo for half an hour and you never see them again. So you can’t adapt as quickly. And in a spin, once your bluff is caught by a player married to bottom pair, it’s usually too late to recover. Or to learn from it for that matter. Anyway, I completely appreciate that it’s unfair of me expecting a detailed, free, easy to implement guide on YT. That was not really my point. I kinda wanted to point out that there is a lot to be ready for on this format, many more aspects than what is discussed in the video. And I guess it’s part of the journey. Thanks again for the reply, thanks for the content you create and good luck to you too.

Love this video! Btw if you put a chess board just above your poker books, your background would look like the real deal 👌
Great video, Tommo! It's really nice to see content geared towards beginners. Your charisma and teaching style make it even better. Looking forward to the next ones (hope there are many more).

How many tables are you playing ? And how many spins have you played at 1$ ?
