Played 6 Double Or Nothings, Lost Every One.

I usually win in these but this time i just lost every hand i played. Whats the best tactics for these? i know people are playing tight in these because all you have to do is survive, but I seem to have missed something somewhere. I was shortstacked in all of them, and lost about 5 of them with AK vs low PP. I know they're really easy for good players but I'm a donk and need help.

This should probably be moved to the tournament section, my bad.

Perhaps you should ask yourself how you became shortstacked. If its just being blinded out then you should just pick up better cards obviously.

how do i just pick up better cards?

probably just fold more. your playing other peoples chipstacks compared to your own sort of.

If you have more chips than the 6th place player then you want to fold pretty much everything and force them to make a move. At the end you will usually be in a shove/fold mode. So you only want to shove when you need the antes or need to double up to get into the top 5

I would suggest playing the turbo don's. The non turbos take forever and put you in the same situation a turbo don would you just get to shove fold mode faster. I played a lot of these for about 3 months and found them break even at best.

just play premo cards and keep the pressure on the short stacks but dont get careless
