| Double or Nothings? What is a reasonable winning percentage for these 10 person Double or Nothing Sit n Gos? Ive played in probably 50 now and am around 55% win-rate. Im starting to see some improvement on this style game and hope to be increasing that rate as time goes. Just wanted to hear from others playing this Sit n Go. Thanks |

| 55% is pretty good. Need to play more games to get a better idea of your win rate. Most profitable players I look up on shark scope that play don's are between 54% -58%. Have't came accross anybody yet with a win rate over 60% but im sure there out there. You have to have a winrate of 53% to have a positve ROI. |

| Merge network. you would have to have a winning percentage of 52.6 to break exactly even with 35%Rb. Thats with .08% Tourneyfee. I'm not sure what percentage you need on pokerstars to break even with there VIP program but it would be intersting to find out. |

| re: Double or Nothings? poker Running at 72%.Play it tight like an SNG for first to blind levels.AA, KK, Ak all-in someone usually calls. If you are around 1050, on a 1200chip start, after 2 blind levels then you need to start stealing from HJ CO and button. As long as you have fold equity many steals get through. Evaluate callers and limpers as weak and go after them also. Stay above 1500 chips (888poker.com 1200chip start) and you will probably last to the final 5 players. The DON can take over half an hour so if I get over 2,500 chips I start another one, and count the first as a collect. Using these to DONs to build another bank to re-place that tied up on FTP. |

| I regurarly play with a player at the micro DoNs who has a 9% ROI over a 5K sample. To play so much and only win so little is what makes me wonder why people actually bother with DoNs. Ironically, that's kinda the only SnG type I'm playing just now.... Might have to reconsider though |

DoN SNGs are highly exploitable and profitable. You can reconsider all you want... more for me. |

but I think the single table knockouts are better games. (better=easy to play, quick to play, like DoN, but more enjoyable and potentially higher returns). |

Nothing wrong with roi+9% in SNG's imo. Doubt you'll get much higher than that in STT-SNG (maybe you will but it's not typical). Only SNG formats I see players running with much higher ROI's is the 27plyr & 45plyr SNGs, where it's not unusual to see good, winning regs. with ROI in high 20's. I can't figure out the calculation for DoNs where you need to be winning 2/3? How much are they charging for rake on these now? (on sites that still have them that is... also not even sure why sites still run these after discovering via Pokerstars how collusion runs rampant in these games). If you were winning 2/3 (an insane winrate imo), then if you were playing $10 DoNs, wouldn't that be an ROI of ~28% ?? (I'm pretty sure that's nowhere even close to bein' possible). |

| re: Double or Nothings? poker I'm hooked on the Merge 6-max DONs. They've been a regular ATM for me since March when I signed up on Lock Poker. I put in relatively little volume compared to pre-BF days. One session on most nights (not every night) of 4-12 DONs, ~200 total a month. I made a $200 deposit in March, withdrew ~$1500 on BF a month or so later. When the BF panic subsided several days later, I re-deposited the $200, ran it up to $1400 again, withdrew $1100 a couple weeks ago. So a total of $2600 withdrawn and currently back up to ~$700 online. Subtract the $400 in deposits and we're looking at ~$3100 profit over 4 months as of today, counting the 35% RB. I play mostly $30's these days, usually 4-6 at a time, but will also jump into the $50's and $80's when they start filling up (as with most sites I keep most of my poker BR offline and re-deposit as needed if I run bad, so BRM with my online roll doesn't come into play). There are quite a few droolers, but there's also a steady set of regs and given the few tables going, you can't help but play with them. I play regularly with a number of Lock pros and other regs and honestly don't have any trouble holding my own against them in these, whereas I'd probably be quite the dog to a lot of them in regular games. That said, during last night's session while playing five $30 DONs I fired up a sixth table, an $11 10-man SNG, just to keep my non-DON skills from getting too stale. Despite me quickly realizing it was probably a mistake to mix game types (for me, anyway, as it was a bit dizzying switching strategy back and forth), I took down 4/5 of the DONs and took down the SNG as well. Yeah, I'm running good I guess, but it's been a pretty long streak of nearly 800 games, and I'm going to cash in until it stops. Sharkscope is showing me with only a 5% ROI (it looks like it has missed a few results based on the profit numbers, but it's pretty close). I'd have to check HEM to see what it says, honestly I've not even looked at my HEM results in some time, that's how laid back I've become with playing, lol. Funny though that my worst ROI is at the extremely soft $20 games. I just don't think I have the patience anymore to nit it up against the no-folders, so I tend to run/play really bad in them. That said, I started at the $10's and did okay there. Weird. $20 seems to be the sweet spot where most of the recreational fish like to jump in, and I just don't seem to adjust well to them. Considering how this is essentially just relaxation poker compared to the old grind which was quite a bit more stressful, I'm thoroughly enjoying the casual pace and easy money. Even the few ~$500 downswings I had along the way didn't concern me all that much. ![]() |
