Spin and gos are three-handed hyper turbo sit and gos on Pokerstars where only the first gets paid. You get 500 chips (25bb starting stack) for whatever buy-in you choose to play with the blind level rising every 3 minutes. A variance calculator (like the one at www.pokerdope.com – I'm not affiliated with the site, it's just a great tool that I often use for coaching) is the way to go when it comes to this. You'll be able to look at the games you're playing and how many of them you're playing in a month or a year, and figure out your potential level of. In fact, according to Pokerdope's variance calculations, there is nearly a 50% chance that a small winning poker player (2.5bb/100) will face a downswing of 3,000 big blinds. This variance calculation shows the importance of micro stakes poker bankroll management. The cashgame variance calculator and simulator for poker is handy and easy to use. Just enter your winrate, standard deviation and the amount of hands to simulate. You'll most certainly get insightful results.
