DoNs are too easily exploitable by teams of players. And it is well known that there are many "teams" that hustle the DoNs.

DoNs are about as low variance as you can get (you only have to beat half the field to win!). You're obviously horrible, you should just quit poker now and never visit this site again.

There's probably not much collusion in the $5 double or nothings Anyway, the trick to being profitable in them is never calling when it's 6 handed

i would very often get blinded out
i think the trick is to risk your stack to steal blinds at a certain point in the game, you cant win unless you take a game-ending risk or two
