stars double or nothings

Hello to you all that play pokerstars double are nothing what are the strategies that yall use.I sit out till the blinds hit 25-50 works well for me because it's going to become a push fest any how towards the end.If i just could dodge those 2 an 3 outers. Your thoughts on these please.

I would recommend a very tight game. You don't really need to sit out, just fold most the vast majority of your hands. Everything I've read about these, and the couple I've played. You just need to be super tight and try not to tangle with some of the larger stacks. If you do double up, if you are playing the lower stakes games, you won't really have to do much else. People will just all knock them selves out. I would have to agree with keplers though, I'd rather do some of the more regular SNG. These to make any kind of profit you really need to multi-table these, which isn't to hard considering how tight you should be playing. I have seen some people grind out a pretty good profit at these though so there is money to be had. Good luck

I would play the double or nothing SnGs if they had higher stakes. $1 is not enough for me. But yeah, just playing super tight should get you to double up. Only play big hands, try to avoid large pots.

Learn about ICM. Learn how the DoN payout affects proper push/fold decisions. It's the only thing that really matters in these games, tbh.

lol

there are obviously much higher stakes than that for DoN's.

Stars currently has DoN up to $100+8 level

isn't it $100+4 ?

Regular is 100+8
Turbo is 100+4 yes

people play regular DoN's ? I guess most players die of boredom before the end of the game and the survivors split the prize pool?

Some of us "NITS" prefer extra play,I don't play this level either,usually $5 for me

I wouldnt really sit out, just nit it up in the beginning

Its rather boring game but if you want to double your money is good but it does take the fun out of the game you almost need not to play or very tightly for sure

i like this type of game because if you play solid poker, you should be able to pick up some blinds and you would have a good chance of double up. Plus doubling you money is always a good thing so I like this type of tourney.

Totally,I have a 69 % win rate at these and I play the turbo's 1.10 or 5.20 on pokerstars for now until I clear my bonus.You also get 1 fpp for each game.They last about 30 mins and I three table so it not to boring.My bankroll is still small I Shouldn't play the 5.20 turbo D or N yet but there to juicy.I won a free roll and pokerstars gave me 20.00 with a 50.00 bonus to clear so i need those fpp and its hard to get them at micro's cash table with out risking my roll.

I like these.
I'd play the $5, $10, and $20 games. I see absolutely no difference between $5 and $10 games. The $20 ones are a little tighter, but not incredibly different.

My #1 bit of advice is to avoid coin flips. In the non-turbo games you *must* win 55% of your games to make be profitable. If you ever risk your tournament life on a coin flip when you don't need to you are making a losing move.

My #2 bit of advice is to play the turbos. A lot of people dislike turbos because they feel it decreases skill, but seeing an extra 30 or so hands doesn't make a huge difference, and both turbos and non-turbos both end in the inevitably fold-or-shove situations.
The big advantage to turbo is that they charge *half* the rake. In $20 games you pay $.80 instead of $1.60, in $10 games you pay $.40 instead of $.80. Plus the turbos last 35 minutes as opposed to the 55 minutes a standard game takes. So not only are they cheaper, but you win significantly more per hour.
