PokerStars launch Spin & Go PLO; Daniel Negreanu talks mental game

PokerStars has launched Pot-Limit Omaha Spin & Go games at the $1, $3, $7 and $15 buy-in levels, and Daniel Negreanu gives you a six-minute breakdown of his thoughts on improving the mental side of poker.

PokerStars has launched Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) games on the fashionable Spin & Go format. Severin Rasset, Director of Poker Operations & Innovation, stated in a press release that the addition of the four-card whizz, bang, wallop of a game was a decision made after receiving feedback from players.

It was the French online poker room Winamax who squeezed the Three-Max Hyper Turbo Lottery Style Sit & Go down the birth canal. Expresso Poker was born in August 2013, but it wasn’t until PokerStars launched their version called Spin & Go in Oct 2014 that the game became en vogue.

PokerStars launched the format much to the chagrin of the Grinders who thought the fast-paced game would take punters away from their tables, and they were right when players managed to cram in 7.3 million games in the first ten-days. But the Grinders adapted, and plenty of them are making money in this fast and fun alternative to the Sit & Go format.
