pretty ropey play there tbh...especially in a double thru. They have very specific theories that apply which includes utilising ICM. Maybe drop stakes for a bit and get used to them. UL though.
we need more volume to see if this game is not for you, let saya sample of 1000 DoNs , then we can make jugdement on your play, me myself using bankroll management have gone on alosing run of DoNs of around 14 games, but on a good run have won about 18 on the trot i did a thread on this a few years ago, chin up m8 and dont play so high play to pocket with around 20x buyins for the level your playing at i wish you good luck at the tables and dont give it up, you will turn it around

Sorry to hear you hit a rough patch there Fejset. DoN's have a bit of a strategy to them so you should definitely lower your stakes and practice. I've had more than a few losing streaks of more than 10 games but lots of winning streaks to.

A lot of misconceptions out there....
High stakes Don´s should be played even tighter than regular SnG´s. 1st game: 10-10 is NOT an all-in hand. 2nd game: A-10 is NOT an all-in hand. Will usually get beaten by AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AK, AQ, AJ, any pair, lol. When the A hits, most high-stakes players will be holding better than A-10 for sure if they go all-in. 3rd game: just fell on the wrong side of the 80%/20%. Bad luck.
Some advice: Read something about high-stake DoNs. (from pros, because I´ve seen a lot of advice from low-stakes players saying in a DoN you need to play agressive early and build a stack, then just sit and wait). WRONG! Finally, gambling the slots is NOT like playing (gambling) Poker. I´m serious about this, really.

unlucky there on your losing streak but bad idea to go chasing your loses from the casino,you probably weren't in the right frame of mind to play poker especially after losing 600 in the casino,just take time out clear your head and come back stronger
p.s i would strongly take islands advice as he is right in what he's saying

If you switch to live games you will do much better, a good tip is to take a loaded gun and wave it around like a crazy man shouting "I WON!, I WON" If people refuse to believe your 2 pair beats set then let off a round and ask again, sometimes people are unclear on the actual rules. I voted, I'd love your mother to suck a BIG time gay on television whilst telling a joke and playing poker.
