But even that has its own strategy. A DD early in a round has way less double up value than late in a round but the longer you leave it, the more you run the risk of letting your opponent beat you to it. Then, even if they don’t bet much, the fact they’ve kept it out of your hands evens up the game tremendously.

If you think you know the category well, then you should start at the bottom. You don’t want you’re lesser opponents leaving money on the board - that is, getting the question wrong.
