Double or Nothing SNGs

I found it is more easier to boost bankroll and make the profit from Double or Nothing SNGs...in order to win the prize...paying EXTRA attention + 1000% FOCUS on yr opponents is needed~~ learn to fold AK in order to preserving yr stack...i believe it will be a good way to get what you are deserved

I have found them to be almost a complete and utter waste of time. You always have someone who doubles up early and sits. The rest of the table is content to try and fold their way into the money, until the blinds become so high and you are in shove/fold mode with 7 remaining just to prevent yourself from being blinded out. I'll take my chances with games where skill prevails and leave the luck to the gamblers.

you are right, that exactly how the game runs. which type of game that you found most profitable.

i think that the 45 man SnG's are the easiest to cash in consistently. i also have good success at micro 10 man turbo's

if you looking for easy money with small investemnt try the .25+.05 for the daily dollar tournament and un-reg., there are 2 places get a buck and the third gets .25

These type of tourneys of course will have luck but i believe all the low stakes have a lot of luck even with a good strategy. The reason i believe this is even if you play tight and stick to good hands a lot of worse hands will consistantly call you and are bound to get unlucky sometimes. You just have to keep trying stay confident and know in the long run your good play will probably pay off.

I've actually had good success playing double up SNGs. These tourneys tend to bring out the conservative players, so if you can adjust to this you can take advantage of situations.

Which site got the best double up SNG. you perfer 6 handed or +

I actually liked the Players Only $5 DoNs made a few hundred bucks working my way up from the $2s. Not as tight as the Pokerstars ones which always seem to come down to push fold unless you get lucky and get a triple stack early, a double stack means nothing. Seen so many people double up early then sit out, only to come back and be short stacked.

I play them sometimes at Doyle's room. Easy money. Pays my way into larger Mtt's.

I think they are worth playing. You can get some easy money there....
Use it for Mtt´s where you can get the real money.

I can only comment on Bodog and Carbon. I haven't seen (or maybe I just haven't looked) 6 handed DoNs, just 10 handed. For me, Bodog was a little tougher, more solid players than Carbon.

i quite enjoy them too, in my mind i think i win alot.
i think the math is gotta win 7 of 10 to really make a buck
i usually lose to bad beats over bad plays, but think that where i do best
what AceZWylD said is true (at a site or two at least) lotta waiting to get money, but thats probally cuz people realize you can cash without playing- it happens- but dont count on it.
i find it easy to get a double up in the first 30-45 min and thats usually all you need- unless everyone is folding AK
i like the fact they are on many sites too, wish FTP had them, tho with the quality of play and bad beats i seem to find there, i wouldnt win anyways

i dont like the dbl up sng i find it just a waste of time ppl are sitting out and u have to wait for them to get blinded out and it sucks even when someone dbls up he just sits out as well just boring poker

Wish Fulltilt would get this instead of the Matrix tourneys. I hate those matrix ones. X

Yeah boring, but the strategy is good. X

I tried those Matrix tourneys, and I'm not a fan of them. While you're less likely to lose your entire buy-in when playing them, the chances of profiting in them are less likely (at least, in my experience).

If nothing, it probably reduces the variance somewhat. Then again, I know there are many out there that swear by them. It really comes down to individual preference.

Never played a matrix. If you have the ability to play four sngs simultatneously why not buy-in to four at once. Better hourly rate. I think the double ups were much more profitable when they were first introduced. Now the strategy of extreme patience is pretty much universally practiced and much harder to cash. What is a good ROI for double ups?

I just completed a Double or Nothing S&G on Mansion Poker. It was a 6 player, so obviously, only 3 win. I was one of the fortunate 3.

leon's right, if you're focusing on the table and are making good decisions, then you're chances of success are pretty good.

The 10 player ones on Stars are interesting. It all depends on your table. I've been in ones where they take a long time to play because everybody is so tight and the first shove usually results in everybody folding until you get a couple of big hands dealt. I've also been in others where the action is extremely fast.

You just have to play your game based on the table dynamic. There's a lot less poker being played for sure though.

I'm going to give the Mansion ones a try and see how they work out.
