Yeah that would be nice I really enjoy the double or nothings on pokerstars. Its fun and you don't have to always be playing your best to make a profit. The closest thing full tilt has is the heads up matches, which is pretty much double or nothing. Full Tilt did just come out with micro stakes so maybe double or nothings are not too far off.

I guess if you're only playing a few here there it might be worthwhile, but I can't understand the appeal of the double or nothings.
50% ITM and you're losing ground because of the rake. 5 of 9 ITM and you're barely covering the rake and a few pennies profit. 6 of 9 and you make a 'little' profit. How long can you sustain a 70%+ win/ITM rate?
I don't play the double or nothings, and I don't play the FT matrix games either, but aren't the matrix games a better probable return especially if you can sustain a constant 60-70% ITM rate? Reason I don't play them is because of the math behind the payouts, but that's just me.
If you e-mail FT support, maybe they could give you a clue. Would also let them know of your interest in them.

Yeah I try not to look at it that way lol. These tourneys did help build my pokerstars bankroll up but I won about 5 in a row. I played the 10 + .40 turbos. The chance to double up just sounds so enticing, even if would be losing ground if you went even. You have less then a 50% chance against the dealer to win in blackjack but people still play.

I honestly don`t see the big attraction to the DONs. I guess if your just looking for a quick BR boost they may be ok but.... I personally don`t play these at all. I`d much rather just play a reg. SNG where I can atleast make a decent profit.
