How do you guys feel about them?

I've fallen in love with the 300 chip super turbo matrixes.

I was just playing a $14+1 super matrix in which I placed 1/1/2/3

I was so pissed that I didn't place first in all of them. In one of the heads ups, I was down 2400-300 and won it. In the other I won, I was the favorite throughout.

In the one I placed second, was down to 160, fought back to even and I flopped an ace and he called with his 77 on an A64 board and the turn/river came 8 5 to put me in secnod.

In the one I placed third, I was tied with second place with third far behind ans I pushed all in with TT and A4 called and rivered an ace.

If not for these 2 bad beats, I take home dominatrix and win $75.60 instead of the crappy $50.04 I did win.

$50 is good! Is not crappy for me
$75 better though. U did well be happy that!
Matrix is fun sometime I play but I prefer the SNG

GL!

I generally play 2-4 games at a time anyway, so I like to play the matrices for that little extra added bonus if I do well.

The problem I've found with the matrix is that you need to finish in the top 3 of all of them every time to make decent money. They break the pot down so much that it becomes complicated if you only do good in 2 and bomb the other 2 to even get your buy in back. I don't think they are a very positive EV game. If you are good at SNG's, I would think sticking to them and multi-tabling is better.

The Matrix is just 4 SnGs for 1/5th the price of the buyin with the last 1/5th going to the final prize pool.

It all depends on whether or not you play in a way that is conducive to knockouts, because if you don't get KOs, you're not going to do well in the matrix standings (which is why I love the 300 chip super turbos...you get KOs to advance or you lose, pretty much)

I love them because it's VERY hard to lose more than 25% of your buyin, but I very often double up on my buyin with occasional triple ups.
