Quick Question: Low Stakes [DoN SNG]

The big stack was basically just x3ing every pf, so he is liekly to have any two. The blinds were going to raise in less than a minute on the first hand. 3 consecutive hands in a row here:



Are all these good folds considering I only need to make 5th spot and there a 3 really short stacks before my next blind?

Result:
+ Show Spoiler +

Hand 1 - Shove
Hand 2 - Shove
Hand 3 - Shove

You really shouldn't let yourself get into a position where u have only 3 bigblinds... This is bad.

Oh wait, now I worked out what DoN means. Double of nothing. God they are the most painful games ever. Seriously do not play these. Its horrible

Well when you put it all in with AK vs AT and a T comes on the window there is not much I can do about 'letting myself get into a bad position'.

Please explain your reasoning on the 2nd post

Well, you never mentioned how you got there in the OP. I presumed you had just passively folded to the bubble.

Reason i think DoN games are painful, is that its not about coming first anymore, its about just making it to bubble. Its like a satellite tourney. Alot of players play so tight its unreal, and sure you can pick up blinds, but if you are in a situation where u are describing above and consider folding KK pre flop, then this, imo isn't poker. I dont think you improve in poker at all by playing these DoN tourneys.

first i was to write
shove shove shove then i realized its double or nothing. That changes things. All tables are bubble plays

Fold first echa and dikzel will be allin at elast once next round ..
2 all in it doesnt matter if u loose u def beat echa and say... and u have them covered as well if u loose to kha and beat echa u still win and made into money
3d fold and shove if echa doubles up in next hand

i sugest u to get agressive on double on nothing and start stealing more then blind get bigger but ofcosue pick spots dont steal from big stacks until u know they can fold

I also have a standard spot quick question about which im unsure in tournament play:
When im down to ~10bb wut to do 5-7 handed with JQo UTG when avg stack is about 33bb

P.S. hope OP doesnt feel like im stealing thread or smtng its just pointless to open new topic for smtng like this

lol if u think u can get away with it raise ... 2,5 blinds ...but best would be fold

U should fold. U will only get called by better hands, isnt it? You might get lucky sometimes but dont do it. And dont play double or nothings, they are for nits.
