| Double or Nothing?
I'm curious if there are any good resources for the Double or Nothing style SnG that is becoming popular on Pacific.
The ICM is invaluable, but I was hoping for something a little more comprehesive... Anyone have any links or basic strategy?
Thanks!

not sure about resources but just try and be patient and try to remember it's not about winning 1 hand, it is about getting to top 5 if 10 man game, or top 3 if 6 man(which stars needs to get), try to pick up on opportunities to grow your chip stack so your in good shape when it gets to bingofest time if it is a passive table 
they are good to get a great hourly rate if you can multi table well, but i think stick with regular sit n go's to build a bankroll.

Pokerstars added these recently also. Seems like a good way to make money if you can consistently cash top 5.

Loving them so far on Pokerstars. Have cashed in 18 of 20 in the $20 and $50 buyins.

FYI a 'Double or Nothing' tournament is the same thing as a satellite. Same rules apply.
