Double or Nothing SNGs.....
Jon MW:
I"m playing on Pokerstars, plenty of "action" - but still boring to play.
In fact, I"ve lost 6 games so far and in 4 of them it was because I was bored and started gambling to relieve the boredom.

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

I did the same last night.
I was "experimenting" to see if I could push anyone off a hand in the bubble.
I was third in chips, guy who was second in chips (2 BBs more than me) raised 2.5xBB. I "woke up" with rag rag (think it was 47o) and was last to act in the BB so put him all in. He called with JJ (bad call I think) and I was gone, much to everyones hilarity I presume (given that chat is turned off in the bubble)

What about Heads Up matches tho?
Swinebag:
I dont play many HU matches, but would think that my win rate would be better in DoNs........just.
I would have thought that there are less weaker players playing HU STTs, but dont really know tbh
