Hi everyone
I recently won a token worth 50 on ipoker but my normal buyin is very low buyins
I cannot find any SNG except a double or nothing but there is a twister(spin & go) which is 3 handed and hyper
Ticket doesnt expire for 1 year
There are many MTT
So which is best for me to play..turbo/deep?/hyper/big field/weekends ? so I have a chance of wining something
Also as I will be outskilled which approach should I use ?
Thanks
Gary PS I have given it some thought and at first thought 3 man hyper and hope to ge t lucky but then I think deep slow structure and play really tight..if you suggest this you mean play as scared money and try to min cash ? No rush on this liek I said token doesnt expire for a year and in 1 years time I hope to have improved considerably !
pps I now have 2 50 euro tokens so I guess we can add MTT multi-entrys into the possible choices

Gary- I’d say go for a double or nothing but thats just me. Play an MTT and the strat should be very similar to any lower priced MTT. But personally I’d play the smallest field tourney you can, because their is a huge chance you are not going to cash even if you play great, just the way MTT’s go. So why not try to give yourself the best chance to cash and boost your bankroll by playing a small MTT or even a SNG or that double up thing. GL

Hi Radriguez
Thanks for your advice man…must admit would like to win huge with it but I think your onto something as my background is SNG
Im really torn between a 3 man hyper or a many 1000 entrants deep structure
I could do 1 of each maybe
One thing I dislike are turbos but in this particular case im not ruling anything out
Yeah after refection your play smallest field you can sounds good must admit if I can convert the 100 euros to say 70 or 80 cash it would be pretty nice
ps just got a 10 euro token now too and l already had a 5 euro at this rate my tokens will be more than my roll – my play money background means I can beat weak players but with TPE vids I hope to be able to compete v better players – I know it will take time…must admit I ran pretty well to get the tokens in the first place…like river had to be an Ace and I binked it

If they expire in a year, then I would keep getting better and save them for later. Think of it as money in the bank collecting interest, because your EV will improve as you improve.

hi Joel yeah thats the plan
but im an incredibly slow learner and only videos work for me books are useless @least for me
got a game soon where the bubble is huge 11th pays 0, 10th pays 100 euros but be less than 100 players
im going to have to play as a nit i think but its not how I normally play well I can in early stages…its 6max a game I dont normaly play either

If you’ve already learned how to change your opening range based on position, then treat UTG as MP instead. That’s a good place to start.

#1 – Embrace the fact that you have no control over the result of this tournament. You don’t have any real say over whether you get to ‘hit it big’, you only have control over your decisions.
#2 – Accept that your edge in terms of EVbb/100 is likely to be quite low in higher buyins, if not potentially in the negative. With this in mind, it serves you better to play a tournament with as much variance as possible – your negative edge is minimized in this case. It’s very difficult to lose at -5bb/100 in a turbo, but that’s definitely possible in a deep-stacked event.
#3 – With this in mind, practice your push-fold. If you have to use a shove chart, do it. If you can pick a turbo tournament with a moderate-sized field (a big field is likely to be insane variance) and play reasonably good push-fold at short stacks, you have a decent chance of cashing or even making a decent score if you run good.
Good luck!

so if Im understanding correctly
A 3 man hyper spin & go (called twister on ipoker) where only 1st pays would be my best current option ?
on PS you start with 25bb but on ipoker I think its even less.ive always found the variance wil din these spins..I avoid them unless a certain promotion is on an deven then im careful..im not addicted to gambling/poker (honestly im not) but those spins are extremely addictive I find so have to set a strict loss limit
