Yeah dude, i usually play 5,40 SNG Double or Nothing on PS.
I think that is a good choice because there are so many donkeys putting in risk their chips in the first levels of the SNG, and you just must play the final levels, easy money!

The question was whether or not any other sites have them.

I am not aware of any. I have signed petetions on other forums to get FT to get them. But as of now am unaware of any other site.

Not familiar with them, how do they work. You have to go all in if you bet?

Half of the 10 person table doubles their buy-in ,not their rake of course

In $2Buy-in place 5th get $2, 4th get $3, 3rd get $4, 2nd get $5, 1st get $6

The double or nothings are a joke. The rake is too big. If something unlucky happens and you bust out. You have to play two more to make any money. The rake kills you in this tournament. Also they take forever to just double your buy in, which isn't really double due to the large rake. There are a lot better ways to make more money in about the same amount of time!!! Three table SNG's turbos and non turbos are one of them!!!

I like them. I have something like a 27% ROI in the DoNs.
I play them to kill time, and don't find them any more frustrating than regular S&G's.

Skill wise, there is little difference between $5 and $10 games. The $20 ones are a bit tougher.

cake poker also has them

#11 12th March 2009, 4:23 PM

Thanks for the replies guys. The reason I was asking is because it has suddenly dawned on me how perfect they are for clearing bonuses. I have searched the net and found that Titan, Cake and Red king poker all have them aswell.

Ipoker got Double or Nothing sit 'n goes too.
But it's not always +EV to play this ones.
Because of the big rake you gotta win 6/10 to play BE.

Not for everyone I guess. I can't stand them. I'd rather play ring to kill time. I'd have to look and see what my ROI is on them. I played one $20 and bubbled on a coin flip. In the five and ten dollar ones, I'm probably ahead. However, I've decided not to play them anymore.

In the $5 turbos the rake is .20(4%). Not a big rake. Its .40 in the non turbo. Don't mind playing these.

Double or nothing SNG? Isn't that sort of like flipping a coin? Heads you win, tails you lose?

Well sorta except you have to finish in top half about 55% or so depending on rake to break even. I don't think these are very profitable at higher stakes but the $1-$5 ones are full of dead money.. with variance it's not too tough to win 65-75% of them so it's a good way, i think, to build up a small bankroll 4+ tabling.

#18 14th March 2009, 7:46 PM

I play most of the sites and I dont know of any other DoN game. This is a fun game but it seems that the best I can do is break even.

good luck

#19 14th March 2009, 9:10 PM

There are lots of sites which provide this type of game. My experience is that you are better to stick to $5 plus games because below that they are full of chancers who will call, raise or even go all in with poor hands. Watch out for the rake on these games. If you play £5 games the rake will normally be $0.5. This means you are paying $5.50 to win $10. If you play 4 and win 2 you will be $2 down.

Best way to get a nice bankroll is this SNGS, glad they have someone

#21 15th March 2009, 7:53 PM

great way to gfain higher vip status ie play like 20 of am at once

#22 16th March 2009, 1:33 AM

I play the Pokerstars ones - I've also seen them on Titan though the fees are a standard 10% there e.g $30 + $3 whereas on Stars you can play the turbos for a 4% rake $20 +v$.80. Usually, I avoid turbo SNGs but the double or nothings are very playable and I prefer them. A couple of decent plays then you double through.
