If I am above average player would playing DoN S&G or Heads Up matches be more profitable?
In my case, No!
the edge in being an above average player would result in proportionally more 1sts(over 2nds and thirds) in standard 10 player STTs.
if you are cashing 40% in a 10 man STT with more 1sts than 2nds and thirds you would need to be winning 70% of DoNs for the same ROI.
I haven"t played my 100 DoNs yet, but will not get 70 wins. Having said that there are players who will do better than 70%, but then again they may be able to do better than 40% cashes in STTs, so again I would probably "No" for players who are more than above average too.
Also, It is easier to learn a winning formula for DoNs than standard STTs, so weaker players will get better quicker at those than they would at standard STTs, thus reducing your edge further.
I"ll be back to 10 man STTs next week
