Description

I have recently returned to CMU after a long break and found on Pokerstars they have a new SNG, called Double Or Nothing.

Simple really, 10 start, and top 5 pay double the original buy in.

So I figure I start with 2 $10 D.O.N tourney's, and if I lose both I lose, however if I win one and lose one I can just play the 2 over again (as I'd have the buy-in's back) but if I win both I move up to the next level (2 $20 D.O.N SNG's)

And I do this so on and so forth, until either one, I'm broke, or two, we're either up to a hundred dollars, or someone says stop.

I've got a decent success rate in these, winning probably 12 of 15 I think, including a $100 D.O.N, a $50 one, and 3 $20 SNG's.

 

And to be honest, I'm on a bit of a hot run currently, I'm up $320 in about five hours.

Just thought I’d change this style a bit, and make it sort’ve different.

After winning 2 of the $10 SNG’s (one of which I’ve won already) I’ll make a $20 “bank” where, I can put money in so as not to lose it, sort of like protection as such.

So, if I win 2 $10 double or nothing tournaments and turn $20 into $40, I put $20 of that in the “bank”, and play 2 more D.O.N tournaments. Does that make sense?


floydlandis58 (3 years ago - 12 Nov 2008 11:48 UTC)

Ok just read it and left the last part out, after there’s $20 in the bank, that’s just the safe money and after that I increase the stakes every time I make enough to progress. If I do anyway.

:)

Floyd, and thanks for buying by the way Karma. x

Oh and someone buy that last share!


karma (3 years ago - 12 Nov 2008 12:38 UTC)

sounds great to me just keep banking the money good luck


floydlandis58 (3 years ago - 13 Nov 2008 08:46 UTC)

Kitty started at $20,

Won 2 $10 Double or Nothing’s now its at $40.

Now trying a $20 double or nothing and if I win that I’ll bank $20 and play another 2 $20.

If I lose, I’ll play 2 more $10 ones. x


floydlandis58 (3 years ago - 13 Nov 2008 09:16 UTC)

Won $20 D.O.N so $40 in kitty, and $20 in “bank”.

Will play 2 $20 D.O.N’s now.


floydlandis58 (3 years ago - 13 Nov 2008 09:43 UTC)

Hopefully written myself in to win this one with a massive 3.5k chip lead after knocking out 2 players. We’ll see.


floydlandis58 (3 years ago - 13 Nov 2008 10:02 UTC)

Won that one, so banks still at $20.

But kitty is at $60.

I’ll continue on with this next time I’m on, off to get slaughtered now ;)


floydlandis58 (3 years ago - 14 Nov 2008 04:50 UTC)

Another $20 D.O.N – If I win this, kitty’s at eighty and I’m going to bank thirty and try to finish it off with a big $50 D.O.N.

:)


floydlandis58 (3 years ago - 14 Nov 2008 04:56 UTC)

Have doubled up with 8 left so looks promising to make top 5. x


floydlandis58 (3 years ago - 14 Nov 2008 05:22 UTC)

Won that so $48 in bank (took out an extra $2 to cover the $50 + $2 entry fee for the $50 D.O.N)


floydlandis58 (3 years ago - 14 Nov 2008 05:41 UTC)

Struggling in the $50 after a few bluffs were picked off.. Not dead yet, but low.. x

And just doubled that $50 to $100 :)

So $100 in the kitty, $50 in the bank.

Might bank another $50 so $100 in the bank, and $50 in the kitty to have another crack.

So karma your $5 is now a safe $25 :)

No relevance, but how good is this hand? Too good.

Thought I’d bank an extra $30 so its at $130 and I’d play another $20. Double or nothing with the remaining money.

Won that one so I’ll bank another $20 to $150 in the bank.

And $20 left to play with. Might do another $20 one, to possibly finish it off, or keep the ball rolling :)


floydlandis58 (3 years ago - 14 Nov 2008 06:59 UTC)

Will continue these next time I’m home x


floydlandis58 (3 years ago - 16 Nov 2008 01:01 UTC)

Lost one!

Damnnnnn :(

So I got the kitty up to $150 which from a starting point of $20 isnt bad!

Payout now x
