Can anyone tell me if any of the U.S. Facing sites have 50/50's? I tried to search found nothing.

What are 50/50? Double or nothing SNGs? Or you talking about something different?

I just found out myself what they are it's a ten player sit n go top 5 get paid like a regular sit n go except the game ends when the first 5 are eliminated and then the final 5 are 1-5 according to their chip count pretty interesting.

I'm not sure about the Cake network but the Yatahay network (ACR, True, etc) has DoN SNGs too.

But without a doubt, the most SNG action in general will be on Merge. DoN SNGs launch all the time on Merge and somewhat sporadically on other networks, so if you're really interested in these Merge is clearly your best choice.

Merge does NOT have these. He is not talking about DoN's
I don't think anyone other than PS offers these. The format of the 50/50s is the top half of the field gets half of the prize pool, then the other half of the pool is split based on chip stacks.

I'm not looking for DON's, I'm looking for 50/50's.

haha I'm officially ******ed you're 100% right.

The SNGs he's talking about are similar to what Bodog used to have called "beginner tournaments". I was thinking about DoNs.

Yeah, I don't think any US site has these...unless the new Bodog does but I wouldn't know because I haven't played on Bodog in years for obv reasons

DONs are more beatable than 50/50s imo. And yes only stars offer 50s currently.

Just curious as I've played all of one double or nothing and never a 50/50, but what makes the latter more beatable? (and I am not doubting you, I really have no idea on the matter)

^^^Because in 50/50s, theoretically you can cash in 4 out of 5 SNGs and still be down for the session.

Basically DONs are all about survival as you are aware, 50s, while yes to an extent thay are about surviving obviously, however you also need to be accumilating a decent stack in order to make them profitable long term.



And what DJG said.
