For a bit of low variance fun, I've been trying out double or nothing sit n gos where 10 sit down and 5 first places are awarded.
My normal Sit N Go strategy goes from super tight to tight to loose (depending on villains, stacks) as the blinds escalate.
But for Double or nothings the best strategy seems to be to avoid confrontations at all costs - I try to avoid being second in the pot with anything but a super-premium hand. In very high blinds there always seems to be an unfortunate AA v KK cooler between other players.
My questions are: how do you play (or would you play) double or nothings and does anyone know of any ICM resources where I could look at the math in more detail? I guess they play like a supersatellite where the same prize is awarded to the top 5... what is correct play at each phase with short, medium and large (but not deep) stack?
