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.
