OK, what's the DOWNSIDE of Double or Nothing SNGS?

[hitmeup]

what ssuglia said.. is what 1.08 to join ten man double up sit n go.. and so instead of getting $ 2.16 .. you just get the $2 if u win. if you lose one thats - $1.08 .. and so u play another to break even.. u win that and your still down 0.16

I don't share your opinion that they take less time. I think they drag out because no one wants to bet too much.

With the corerect strategy you can build up your roll slowly.

[abwil2]

its an easy way to slow build ur roll and you dont have to get heavily involved to place top 5..

[AcesUp1439]

Its not a true double up. you pay 1.08 and you win 2.00. thats only .92 cents.

Yeah, the rake kills and you are stuck playing whatever crap they hand you and don't have a choice of picking up and walking away to play something else. Rakeback and solid play can build a roll but you have to be really careful not to step up to chase losses or anything like that. You still gotta grind it no matter what you are playing.

The downside is that you must put in volume to see a long term profit. The rake will eat you alive if you're only planning on playing a few games. You have to evaluate how much money you've made/loss after you have played hundreds of DONS.

I knew we could count on the DONbot to give his experience.

Are you still grinding the DONs?

[trubbluffer]

I don't play them anymore. There is way to much collusion in my opinion between other players.

[yahto]

hate them well i should say they hate me

[sbialczak]

the downside is that people tend to use collusion as a way to gain an edge on the competition
