770, mansion, titan, VC = same network so stays the same Party, maybeh, but not soo many Sng's there imho Pacific? Software sux Pkr? Ask doomdy College poker = entractionnetwork i think : wich is Ok imho.
Poker 770, Mansion poker, titan poker, and Victor Chandler are all the same network. Ipoker, I think they're called. No matter where you log in, you come to the same tables, haven't you noticed? So, I would think the DoN's are pretty much the same, execpt for maybe different colours on the tables.
On topic, I have to say: Don't know. Looking for the answer myself.

To make DoNs really profitable u need to multi them. U need also tons off fish so preferable rooms where american play. U need the lowest fees/rake a game. U need a good rakeback deal to get extra back.
Stars: Lots off fish, rake lowest on the net (8% normal, 4% turbo), easy to multi, but....No rakeback deal only Stars VIP rewarding system.
Cake: Lots off fish, rake same as Stars, multi is ok plus 33% rakeback which is good.
PKR: Lots off fish, rake is high 10%, rakeback 30% plus reload half(50%) deducted so rakeback must be sometin like 40%+ which is very good, multi sucks max 4 tables and hands are slow.

I am waiting for the BigBetPoker no deposit bonus, the DoNs there seem very good for a beginer. Turbo 8% rake, I just don't know how fishy is that poker room. Anyone has any tip about it?
I played DoNs on stars and it is an excellent place to do it. iPoker didn't like it, 20% raked, lot of bad players but not suicidal ones like on pokerstars, and if its iPoker you will get bad beaten in a nasty way or not.

Posted by Flangel: I really wonder why everyone is playing Dons atm. Why became this so hot?
Its a really strange phenomenon ''DoNs'', they got popular i guess sometin like 2 years ago and boosted high after couple off months. I thought cryptologic started them not sure. I think why many people like them because its saver poker (which is obviously NOT). If ur a winning SNG player you boost ur bankroll much faster playing regular instead off DoNs. On the other hand if ur a losing player on SNG u losing ur money slower on DoNs rather then regular.
Fact is, they got popular on any site they offers them, only possitiv i can think off the are so damn easy to multi and u have lower variance then regulars.
DoNs kill 'the poker in you''', in a regular u play to win, not in a DoN, in a DoN u play to survive, totally different play.
I play DoNs and phases, phases are just normal regulars only the price-money is in tickets not money. At all stakes DoNs i play my ROI is just below 10%, At all stakes phases/regular i play my ROI is close too 20% or higher, so for me it proves ''its more profitable to play regular rather then DoNs!" So why i playin these fokin DoNs every day? Dunno, maybe i am just lazy and find it easy to multi these boring DoNs on auto/pilot.....

I think pokerstars and cake are the best rooms for DON similar rake at both rooms(cake has 10% for 2$ don) , cake has less traffic than stars but cake have a good rakeback. bigbet also has simlar rake but very less traffic sometimes it can take hours to fill. Ipoker sites have 20% rake so better avoid them unless u like don very much.
