Double or Nothing SNGs: About Volume
Do you remember the WSOP broadcast that showed Hevad Khan multitabling over 20 sit & gos? It seemed like such a ridiculous amount to play at one time, and I know that I thought I’d never be able to play that many. SNGs require too much concentration for me when it gets down to 3 and 4 handed. I’m not able to make the reads that I would need to be successful. But with Double or Nothing SNGs, I’ve had no problem playing 20 tables at once. And I would bet that most players could do the same.
And it’s a good thing because Double or Nothing SNGs present a great opportunity to make a nice hourly rate, which quickly adds to your bankroll. One of the biggest complaints about Double or Nothing tournaments is that they are boring. My first reaction to that sentiment is “You’re probably not playing them right.” I have a hard time believing anyone thinks easy money is boring. My second reaction is the player probably isn’t playing enough tables at once. If you have enough time to be bored then you should open up a few more tables and increase your hourly rate.
Playing a high volume of Double or Nothing SNGs also has other benefits. Tilt control is made much easier if you have many tables going on at once. In most situations, if you are victim of a bad beat, you won’t even be aware of it as you’ve moved on to another table. And if you aren’t aware of the bad beats you suffer it won’t affect your play on other tables. In addition, you will get past any downswings or break even stretches much quicker if you massively multitable these tournaments.
But in the end, the greatest benefit of Double or Nothing SNGs is the speed that you can build your bankroll. And even if you do think it’s boring (again, I’ll never understand how making easy money is boring) you’ll be able to return to your favorite poker variant in no time.
