I have being playing some Double or Nothing games and I have being doing pretty well.
I normaly just play tight, not really agressive, and I get into the money around 60% of the time.
What should be the best strategy to beat these games?
I readed some comments on this link here.
LINK REMOVED - EEJIT101(can I post links here?)
But I guess not all the possible strategy is explained.
Anymore thoughts about it?
you're not really making any money if you're only winning at a 60% clipQuote:

And as for DoNs, i just go tight as I can, and get agressive on the big hands.
why not?Quote:

You're paying, generally, a 10-15% rake per game.Quote:

$50 profit rather than the $100 profit you assume.
U are right, I forgot about the rake. But as u showed 60% still on the proffit line.Quote:

that's if you can keep up a 60% clip through 100 games at a 10% rake.Quote:

But I normaly dont play more than 5 games per day.
Right now I play the 10 double or nothing with a bankroll of 340$ on Stars.

It depends on the site. Cake charges 7% on their DoN's. And yes, 60% cashing is profitable, and while there are definitely ways to improve that-in the 10 dollar games a good player might be able to hit 70-75% I think, any profit over a long term is strong.
I think I'm just over 50% and not beating the rake so far, but that's because I'm still figuring out bubble play in these.
it's profitable, but it's not worthwhile.Quote:

depends on how you define worthwhile. If you can multi-table them and win a steady 10 bucks an hour that might not be too bad. Steady 10 bucks an hour from poker beats flipping burgers any day.Quote:

It's rough going, and not really worth the time imo.
I usually play 2 real tournaments and 2 DoNs while I play because I know I don't have to spend as much time with the DoNs.
Volume is the key here. 6 or 8 at once makes it a lot better.
Eh, without dual monitors, anything more than 4 is going to get too cluttered imo.Quote:
