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

[marlais]

On Merge, what's the downside of the $1.08 double up SNGs? I'm sure there's an obvious one that I'm missing. The rake is lower than the other dollar SNGs, they take less time to play so you can get more games in, paying top 5 reduces variance. What's the big reason I shouldn't be grinding these? Is it because better players can build a BR much faster with top 3 payout format games?

downside is if you dont know how to play DONs
there is no downside to DONs unless you suck at thinking

[ssuglia]

Your ROI in DON's is going to be lower than other SNG's, basically because of the flat payout. You would need an insane win rate to make playing those profitable, both short term and long term.

dubs ups are great ways for me to free roll other tournaments,that's why I play them,only down side is,its not a TRUE dub up,risk $1.08 to profit $0.92,not sure who names these things,lol just kidding

So, I should stick with top 3 payout SNGs? What about 6 max SNGs or turbos? How do those compare, ROI-wise?

I seem to suck at SNG"s with short levels...Just doesn't fit my style of play,,,which is "SCARED"!!!!

double or nothing sngs are great for toning up your bubble play game.. like they said tough its less risk so less reward, your going to have to play good in them to show a profit

There really is no downside. It's a good way to grind out a solid bankroll.
