Double or Nothing presents perfect place for tight play

Ultimate Casino Search

Have you ever folded cowboys preflop?

Easier said than done, but it's the kind of thinking you have to employ when you're playing "Double or Nothing" sit n' gos. Double or nothing is the ideal table for the tight player, who's only going to play the top hands.

Why? Because fifth is the same as first. When you only have to finish in the top half of the field, you only have to play the top hands to get there.

If you're sitting in second place on the bubble and the chip leader comes in with a hefty raise ahead of you, it may make more sense to fold the pocket kings and maintain your position. It's as good as first anyway.

Pick your moments carefully in double or nothings.

It's the perfect game to check your ego at the door and the perfect place to hone your tighter than tight strategy. Try a few double or nothing sit n' gos playing just the top hands and see how they suit your game.
