The DON's seem insanely easy to me. I find decisions in them very easy, and the level of play is really terrible at times. It seems like to me folks make a lot of incorrect calls, which can be frustrating when an opponent calls your 10x bb bet with AJ and sucks out on your KK.
As you might expect variance is much lower playing these tourneys than standard tourneys, since 5/10 players are paid instead of 3/9). Even though I am 6-tabling it's rare for me to lose at more 2 tables (in fact it's only happened once). Coincidently this can indirectly control your tilting, since your psychological state of mind is much better if you are winning more constantly (albeit smaller amounts).
Consider the player A who plays normal turbos. He plays in 10 tourney's and achieves the following results:
$16.20, $16.20, $27, $27, $0, $0, $0, $0, $0
Total amount paid = $65 Total won 86.4, ROI = 33%
Player B plays 10 $5.20 DoN's and gets the following results:
$0, $10, $10, $10, $0, $10, $0, $10, $10, $0
Total amount paid = $52 Total won = $70, ROI= 34%
Even though they have won similar amounts at similar ROI, which player is more likely not to go on tilt? And which player is going to be better prepared to give his A-game to the table?
As a side note, at the moment I'm making more money 6-tabling these than I would be if was playing standard turbos. At the $6.50's I can 4-table at 25% ROI, but these I'm getting much higher returns 6-tabling (32% at $5.20 [n = 62], 35% at $10.40 [n=40]). The decision to play them or not seems obvious in my case.
