The point is to be among the last half, it doesn't matter if you have less then one big blind or are stackleader when half the players are out of tournament last half standing gets the same.

How to be in the final half is a though question.

Play good poker and dont waste anything on hopeless hands.

If you can hide and just wait for the others to do stupid things depends on the others.

If there is a bully at the table dont try and fight him unless you have a monsterhand.

Dont get shortstacked, easy to say, as long as you have a medium stack you might take it easy, until the blinds are to big for that.

Try to find weak players and challenge them.

And finally you can't rush trough the game take it easy

The pokerstars 50/50 sngs are much different and you should not be playing them like a normal Double or Nothing...50/50 sngs work like this...theres 10 players in the game...each player starts off with 1500 chips and the blinds are either 3min or 6min...the final 5 standing players get $1.40 or so PLUS $0.04 or so per 100 chips you have once the 6th place player is eliminated. So if you were in the final 5 and had 1000 chips left...you would receive $1.80 which favors more aggro play...agree above these are great to multi table...heck ive seen guys 40 tabling 50/50 sngs lol

Yep pokerstars 50/50 are different from doubleOrNothing. Payouts depend on chip stack you are holding after 6th player is eliminated. For example you have double your chip stack in game then you will receive double your buyin. Aggression is key in this format.

Actually I haven't been playing 50/50 sng on Pokerstars so I didnt now the difference.

I have only been playing them at Danske Spil and they have same win for the last half standing.

But thanky very much for the info.

It sounds like a fair rule for a 50/50 game.

I think Sit & Gos are interesting. You can win some bankroll, but I like the satelittes more, because they are more exciting. I can say Double or Nothing is a reliable opportunity to make some money. I myself have won about 70$ due to Double or Nothing at 888. I try always only to play premium hands and not to be one of the worst players when only one player left to go. Just try a few and you will see that they are not very hard to win, but the problem is you can't win much money and they get boring after a few hours.
