What do you mean by this? That the players are so good that you can't profit from them?

its a fold because blinds are about to pass a stack that is shorter then yours.

when people play it even remotely correctly DONs become a nitfest where everything depends on luck of the cards youre dealt.

Yea, this. Stack sizes are usually more important in double or nothings than hole cards, especially on the bubble.

I don't really agree with this. While it's true DONs are a huge nitfest, you could say "everything depends on the luck of the cards you're dealt." in any form of poker, so that doesn't really make sense.

to put it more simple(i hope) its like any other poker- the less people there are the more u can exploit your edge. its much harder to exploit 5 man bubble then it is to exploit 3 man bubble.

OK I agree with you. But DONs are profitable because generally in a 6-man bubble there will be at least 1 person who has no clue wtf he is doing. Your equity 6-handed is generally 80% or better regardless of chip stack sizes, and people don't realize that and donate their monies by stacking off with Ax every time on the bubble.
To put it more simple (I hope), although you can't exploit specific players on the bubble, someone will generally exploit themselves by making bad calls on the bubble and give up their own equity.

i play DON's myself but the consideration was that u get to stakes high enough it will stop being profitable because as opposed to cash u cant table select yourself some scoutsXXX

It tilts me so bad that the players are so terrible at the $5 and even $10 DONs and I cant use the chatbox in these things, even to just say "WDF!"

In one of the games the BB was at 400 with a chip stack of 950, CO, Button and SB all had decent stacks and they all folded. WDF!?!
