DoN Indicator: HUD for Double or Nothing Tournaments

One of the great things about poker is that there are tons of different games available. Players are given the opportunity to find a game and structure that fits their style the best.  After a player settles on a certain type of game, they typically take it a step further and try to become a specialist at it.  There are masses of players who have mastered just about everything they can with sit and gos, for example; this is in part due to the tools available to help players improve their game.

However, some players choose specific types of sit and gos to master, like the Double or Nothing events on PokerStars, and struggle to find tools to help them with their sessions.  There is a much different strategy required to be successful in Double or Nothing sit and gos than with any other type.  Thanks to Jensen Poker Tools, there is now a great new program to assist those players who choose to grind out Double or Nothing sit and gos on PokerStars.

DoN Indicator is a Heads-Up Display (HUD) that shows several different statistics about the table you are playing.  You can quickly glance up at the HUD and know every statistic you need to make the best play possible.  DoN Indicator is on the PokerStars approved software list, so you will not have any problems.  The indicators displayed in the HUD are:

Position: Your position in the tournament determined by stack sizes.

Players: Total number of players remaining in the tournament.

M: Also known as "Magriel's M" and Chip-Status Index (CSI). Your stack divided by the cost in antes and blinds for one orbit.

Q: Also known as "Harrington's Q.” It is the ratio between your stack and the average stack.

Big Blinds: Your stack divided by the size of a big blind.

Stack Difference: Shows the difference between your stack and the stack of the person on the opposite side of the bubble. When you are in positions one to five, it compares to the stack in sixth position. When you are in position six or worse, it compares to the fifth position. The difference is measured in multiples of your own stack size.

Avg. Stack: Total chips divided by the number of remaining players.

Chips%: Your chip count compared to the total chip count.

CPR: Cost Per Round. Cost in blinds and antes of one orbit.

Level Time: Seconds left in the current blind level.
