I was looking for something to play on party tonight and i saw a $10 don-boom $250 gtd game of the month thingy,so i had a look and it was at level 4 with 16 registered and the top 6 got $41,not bad i thought so i entered and come the end of registration,level 6 , there was 35 entries and the payout was top 17 got $18.70,not so good i placed anyway and i might try another one , sometime Anyone else tried these ?
I have not tried those, but it does not look like a well thought out format, if the top 17 have to play for $0.14, maybe I'm missing something? Why does it not simply stop like a regular DON?
Too bad the overlay disappeared on you, but congrats on the win...

Interesting! I have looked at these a couple of times but haven't played them as the format is a little bit confusing. Firstly, it's not truly double or nothing and some people get more than others! Also it seems that the more people that register the less you win overall! Back to sleep!

Seems way too much hassle for me 4 this sort of payout. Congrats.

I dont think i have seen this tournament structure again. After all, besides the last winner and the first one, all the rest finish in second place , playing a lotto game probably, after they have secured the place, for 14 more cents Who is the mastermind behind this lol.

I know it's weird isn't it, when i knew i had cashed i went all in straight away,they could have gave the 14c to the guy who got 12c.

I have played a few of these types of games on PP/BWIN and it always looks great value in the first couple of levels,then loads register at the last minute but quite often it does mean the odds are slightly better than a regular DoN.
