The latest craze in the ever-changing poker world is the Double of Nothing SNG
Tournament.  A Double or Nothing SNG is a tournament with 10 players that
pays the last five players double their buy-in amount.  Although it's not a
new form of poker, the recent addition of this game type to the more
established poker sites has caused this boom.  Like any new game, there is
little information available on proper strategy.  The purpose of this article
will be to give you an overview of how and when your strategy should change.
If you have contemplated switching to Double or Nothings, but haven't made
the move yet, the section of this article defining the advantages of playing
these events will be of particular interest to you.  While this article is
geared towards poker players who are just learning how to play these events,
I'm positive that many experienced players will learn something as well.
最近在這不斷改變的撲克圈中掀起風潮的就是DON SNG。DON就是10個人的牌局，
最後5個人可以領回兩倍的buy-in。雖然不是新的撲克形式，大多數撲克網站都受到它的
影響。就像任何新玩法一樣，有用的策略資訊並不太多。這篇文章的目的是要帶給你一個
整體的觀點，你的策略應該如何、何時做變更。如果你已經仔細考慮過要轉戰DON，但還
沒有行動，這篇文章應該能讓你感興趣。這篇文章是寫給那些正要學習怎麼去玩這個比賽
的人，但是我有自信那些有經驗的玩家也能學到些東西。

Pregame Strategy
- Before the game starts, check out the lobby.  If the second SNG yet to go
off has four or more players registered, you have found a table with too many
regulars.  If you sit here, the other regulars, plus the rake, will eat into
your profit enough that this game is not worth playing.  It is likely to go
off with 6-7 regulars, and there may not be enough fish to spread the wealth
between everyone.
牌局前策略
-在牌局開始前，檢查一下牌局大廳。如果第二場SNG還沒開始，只有4個或更多的玩家登
記，你已經發現有太多的regular在裡面。如果你坐在那、其他regular還有抽水，將會
吃掉你的獲利，這場牌局不值得去玩。這就像有6到7個regular，而沒有足夠的魚去讓大
家分食。

- It is vital that you identify the regulars.  Know who is who, because you
are going to play one type of game against the regulars, and a totally
different game against the random players.
- Have enough buy-ins in your bankroll to play your game comfortably.  For
professionals, that's about 40 buy-ins and for recreational players who can
easily replenish their bankroll, that's about 20 buy-ins.
-辨認出regular是很重要的。要知道誰是誰，因為與regular打，跟與隨機玩家打
是很不一樣的。
-要有足夠的buy-in資金去玩得舒坦一點。對職業玩家來說，要有40個buy-in。對那些能
容易地補滿資金的娛樂消遣玩家來說大約是20個buy-in。

Before You Play: Basic ICM Strategy
- In a $10 SNG, your starting equity is $10 and should you double up, to
3000, it becomes $15.55.
What this means to you is that, should you end up all-in on hand one, the
chips that you risk are worth $10, and the chips that you stand to gain are
worth $5.55.  $10/$15.55 = 64.5%, so you'll need to win an early all-in
confrontation approximately 2/3 of the time just to break even!  Try not to
get committed in any pot that you don't expect to win at least 2/3 of the
time.
開打之前：基礎的ICM策略
-以一個$10SNG來說，你一開始的equity是$10，當籌碼從1500贏到3000時，equity變成
$15.55。
這件事的意義在於，你allin一手牌，冒的風險是$10，而你賺回的籌碼價值$5.55。
$10/$15.55=64.5%，所以你在牌局初期allin，至少三次要贏個兩次才能損益兩平！試著
不要去commit任何你不期望能3次贏2次的pot。

玩家　籌碼   Equity
1　　 3000　 $15.55
2     1500   $10.55
3     1500   $10.55
4     1500   $10.55
5     1500   $10.55
6     1500   $10.55
7     1500   $10.55
8     1500   $10.55
9     1500   $10.55
10       0   $ 0


Just to give you an idea of how tight that means you need to be, check out
this fight between KK and {JJ+, AK}:
把心思放在你需要打多緊上面就好，看看這個KK與{JJ+,AK}的對決吧：

手牌　　  pot Equity
KK        62.6%
{JJ+,AK}  37.4%


- When two players collide, the missing equity doesn't just disappear.  It
goes to the other players.
What this means to you is that, as in the example above, when two players
collided, one player loses $10.00, and the other player won $5.55.  That
leaves $4.45 of "missing equity".  That $4.45 doesn't just disappear from the
game.  It gets divided up among the remaining players.  In this case, $.55
goes to each of the eight players that were not involved in the clash.  So,
if two players do battle on the first hand, and one doubles up, your 1500
chips that were worth $10.00 are now worth $10.55.  As you can see, if there
is one really bad player in your SNG, this nice benefit can basically
eliminate the rake for you.  Later, as more players are eliminated, the
"missing equity" from these clashes becomes greater, and gets divided up
among less players.  This means that your benefit from watching two other
players collide later in the game will become immense!- When two players
collide, the missing equity doesn't just disappear.  It goes to the other
players.
當兩個玩家對決時，這遺漏的equity並沒有消失。它分給了其他玩家了。
意思是，像上面那個例子，兩個玩家對決，其中一個輸掉$10，另一個贏得$5.55。剩下
$4.55"遺漏equity"。這$4.55並沒有在牌局中消失。它只是分給了剩下的玩家們。在這
個例子中，$0.55平均分給了那些沒有參與這次對決的玩家們。所以，兩個玩家在第一手
牌對決，而其中一個人籌碼加倍，這時候你的1500從原本價值$10，到現在價值$10.55。
如同你所看見的，如果有個不好的玩家在牌局裡，基本上可以消掉你付出去的水錢了。
再者，當愈多的玩家出局，"遺漏equity"就變得愈高，因為分的人變少了。這表示在牌
局後段，當你看兩個玩家對決時，你從他們那得到的獲利就變得巨大！-當兩個玩家對
決，遺漏的equity並沒有消失，只是分給了其他玩家。

Early Game Tactics
- To open from early position, you need a very strong hand.  I would
recommend opening only with big pairs and possibly AK from very early
position.  Feel free to play a wider range of hands in late position if your
opponents in the blinds are 16-tabling regulars that are only playing 10% of
the time or less against a raise.
 - It is very seldom correct to flat call.  In general, re-raising or folding
is the most appropriate avenue to take.
牌局初期戰術
-要在前面的位置玩，你需要一手非常強的牌。我會建議在前面的位置只玩大對子或AK。
如果在盲注的對手是個玩16桌、只有10%的機率抵抗raise的regular，那在後面的位置就
可以把手牌範圍放寬一點去打。
-偶爾才會平跟。基本上re-raise或fold是最恰當的打法。

- Don't do too much set mining.  In most games, set mining requires
approximately 11-1 to 15-1 implied odds to profitably try.  However with the
difference between cEV and $EV being as great as it is (as in the example of
risking $10 to win $5.55), you now need 20-1 to 24-1 implied odds to set
mine!  Therefore, as a general rule, don't set mine, even at the early
levels, unless you are limping behind in late position in a multi-way pot.
-不要太常去拼三條。在多數牌局中，拼三條需要1比11到1比15的implied odds
才有足夠利潤去試。然而，因為cEV與$EV的差別（像$10去贏$5.55的例子），你現在需要
1比20到1比24的implied odds去拼三條！因此，當作一般的規則，不要拼三條，即使是在
最初的幾個level，除非你在後面的位置limp，而且是個多人的pot。

- Your main motive at this level should be to preserve your stack, because if
you succeed in doing so, this offers you the chance to threaten a large raise
at the later levels.  If you can maintain even just 1300-1400 chips, you'll
really put the pressure on even a bigger stack to fold in the later stages.
Also, tighter play may earn your raises some respect later in the game when
that respect might make the difference.
-在這個階段主要的動機就是保持籌碼，因為假設你成功辦到了，這可以讓你在後
面的level有機會去做出有威脅性的raise。如果你能維持大約1300到1400，到了牌局後段
，即使面對big stack你還是能帶來足夠的壓力讓他蓋牌。同時，打得很緊也能在你raise
的時候賺到一些尊重，這個尊重是有差別的。

Mid Game Tactics
- Once the antes have kicked in, the incentive to steal blinds is much greater
.While the antes seem small, in relation to the blinds they are actually very
great.By the time 50-100 rolls around, stealing blinds becomes an important
strategy to preserve your stack.
- Be aware that the shortest stacks will need to make a stand, and as a
general rule, avoid playing pots where you are not at least 70% to win.  This
is especially important in games where more than two players have busted.
- Fighting and losing against a big stack is a disaster at this point if your
stack is healthy.  With a healthy stack, you generally need to win 80-85% of
your pots against them.  Keep in mind that usually amounts to calling with AA
only, and sometimes, not even that!
牌局中期戰術
-一旦底注出現之後，偷盲就變得重要。雖然底注似乎很少，跟盲注關聯起來就重要了。
到了50至100手之後，偷盲就變成維持籌碼的重要策略。
-小心那個籌碼最少的玩家將會需要去allin，一般的規則是，至少要有70%勝算，否則就
避免去玩這個pot。尤其是在超過兩個玩家出局之後，這一點又更加重要。
-如果你的籌碼還很健康，跑去跟big stack對決而且輸掉是個糟糕的事情。籌碼還夠時，
你要對抗他們通常要有80-85%的勝算才行。注意通常只能用AA去call，有的時候甚至AA
都不能call。

Endgame Tactics
- With 6 players remaining, so long as you are not in last place, the value
of your chips is likely 85% of the final prize or greater.  In a $10 SNG what
that means to you is that your chips are worth approximately $17 to you, even
though the prize is $20.  Given this, calling shoves with even aces is often
borderline, and definitely a no go if you are in 4th or better.
牌局後段戰術
-剩下6名玩家時，若你不是最後一名，籌碼的價值可說是有85%的獎金了。在$10 don牌
局中，代表你的籌碼幾乎價值$17，雖然獎金是$20。有鑑於此，即使拿AA call別人
allin常常是為難的，而且如果你的籌碼在4th以上的位置，甚至不要call。


玩家　籌碼   Equity
1　　 2500　 $16.67
2     2500   $16.67
3     2500   $16.67
4     2500   $16.67
5     2500   $16.67
6     2500   $16.67


- If you have a large stack, it is NOT your responsibility to eliminate
players.  Your responsibility to yourself is to finish top 5.  Don't worry
about calling with exceptional pot odds, or whatever.  Your main priority is
to avoid disaster.  There will be times that raising or shoving is still
appropriate, especially if a regular is sitting on a lot of chips behind you.
-如果你有很多籌碼，讓別的玩家出局並不是你的責任。你的責任是讓自己以前
5名完成牌局。不要去想說pot odds夠而call的事情，或其它那些。你的優先事項是避免
失敗。有時raise或allin仍然是適當地，尤其是後面是個有很多籌碼的regular。

- Push wide into regulars who are intelligent enough to fold, and push very
tight against loose players when your stack is healthy.  It is your
responsibility to range the potential caller(s).  There are many situations
where pushing any two is correct against regulars, and pushing only the top
15% of starting hands or so is correct against others.  Therefore you cannot
solely rely on proper ICM recommendations, and/or knowing the Nash
Equilibrium of a situation.  You must adjust, so the slightest difference in
an opponent's calling range can often completely change the range you should
be pushing with!
-當你的籌碼還算健康時，對一個夠聰明去蓋牌的regular，拿較寬的手牌範圍去
推，拿較窄的手牌範圍去推比較loose的玩家。你的責任是去衡量潛在的caller。很多情
況下拿任何兩張牌去推regular都是正確的，對其他人則拿前top 15%的牌去推。因此你
不能完全依賴ICM，並且／或了解情況。你必須調整，所以要看對手的call range來改變
你的push range。

- Never limp pre-flop with intent to trap someone into shoving, even with
AA.  In other types of poker, the advantage of trapping with aces is the
strong edge it gives you when you fish someone in.  In Double or Nothing
events, if you catch someone, you are in a situation where you are 80-85% to
win, but you need to win 65-90% of the time just to break even, so your edge
isn't large enough to trap.  It's hardly a disaster if you raise and win the
blinds, and that result will usually be just as favorable to your winning
chances.
-絕不要在preflop limp來設陷阱去讓某人allin，即使是拿AA。在其它類型的撲
克，拿AA這樣做有強大的優勢去釣某人上鉤。在DON，如果你要抓某個人，你有80-85%機
率贏，但是你需要65-90%的比率能拿到獎金才會打平，所以你的優勢並不足以去設陷阱。
如果你加注並且贏回盲注，這不會是個錯誤，而且這個結果通常對你贏的機會而言是好
的。

- Time the blinds if you can.  At key times, consider stalling to allow the
blinds to move up.  While this may cause the table to have a vendetta against
you, if you can bring the blinds up to the point where someone else is all-in
on their BB, you very well might be able to back into a top 5 finish, even
with a micro stack!
-如果可以話，按一下時間。在關鍵時刻，拖延一下時間去讓盲注提升。這可能
會讓這桌的人怨恨你，如果你讓盲注提昇，讓某人被迫allin他的籌碼，即使你只有一點
點籌碼也有可能進入前5名結束。

- If you are in last place, and the player to your left won't fold to your
shoves, it may be worth it to make a borderline call on another hand to save
your skin.
-如果你是最後一名，而左邊的玩家不會fold你的allin，或許值得去call另一手
邊緣牌以求生存。
