PokerStars Double or Nothing

Anybody else play these sng's? I'm playing one for the first time so I'll update this post with my thoughts on them soon.

my buddy has been playing those all night, and done really well.

theres a new triple or nothing 107$ 90 player as well I wanted to play, top 30 triple up and I registered, but no one joined for an hour an a half so I unreggy'd.

seems like a great tourney to me...

D&N are actually quite simple but I think more and more people are getting better at them so really you need to double up early and then use a push/fold strategy towards the end to be successful over all.

They are great bankroll builders.

Fed, if you want triple or nothing..go to Pacific Poker. Weaker players than stars and they run more regularly

This may be a stupid question, but just trying to understand icm better.....


Would it be easier or harder to calculate icm when everyone is getting the same payout?

This is a solid path for a 1-3% ROI in them. Maybe. The best regs make a consistent 15% ROI over thousands of these. The lower quality regs make about a 8% ROI, and the dead money guys and the really bad regs pay everyone else long term.

Sharkscope italyrome999 for instance. He is one of the best hard core Omaha DoN regs. An advanced sharkscope DoN only search on me is basically the same thing.

The 15% ROI comes from a lot more than double up and sit . I do some lengthy blog entries on this oddly enough. You can google Monteroy and blog if you are actually curious (admin can remove that line if it is considered spam, was not meant to be).

NL ones I have to believe the sustainable ROI is considerably lower by now.

Partially, in that much of it is a bit tongue in cheek, but every bit of table talk and hand history that it was based on is completely accurate, and it does show in a way how some of these guys think when the usual reaction is "what the heck was he thinking?" That guy is down about 10k in sit and gos for a reason.

Edit: fixed typos

You realize his comments are likely in jest, correct?

Well, props to him then losing $10,000 in sit and gos over the long term while secretly having a solid grasp of the game while making laughingly bad plays as a cover for that skill.

Not entirely sure of the point of this debate. Sharkscope/OPR/tableratings the guy and if you still think he is that clever instead of just being genuinely bad at poker then we will have to just agree to disagree on this fairly unimportant topic

Just played these things for a few hours on PS. Quite addictive but at the same time very painful. The tightness is insane...but that's the way it has to be I guess. Tight or all in constantly. Came out up a couple of hundred bucks but I think if I played these all the time it would change the way I played poker and not in a good way. BTW Feb 28th is the last day for these...they are getting rid of the basic version and only offering Fifty50 version....where final chip count matters.
