Yesterday I played one of these Matrix Tournaments for the 1st time on Full Tilt Poker.
This is a pretty interesting game. The way it works (for those who
haven't tried it) you do one single buy-in to a Matrix SNG (ie: a
dollar Matrix game actually costs $1 to enter) but then you get sat at
4 different tables at once. All 10 players battle down to the winner at
each table like any other SNG.Payout places are also the same
as a standard SNG, but the amounts are cut in half. The other half of
the prizepool is distributed via a points ranking system. Players are
awarded points for their performance on each table. Players accumulate
points based on knockouts, outlasting opponents, and finishing place.
The additional prize money is then distributed over top 3 point earners
once the games at all tables has concluded.How did my first
game go, you'd like to know? Well, I managed a couple of K.O.'s and
finished 3rd place in 3 out of the 4 games. Despite the 3 cashes, I
fell short of accumulating enough points to place ITM in the point
earners competition. Still, I broke about even and had a blast. This
one's a great game for the multi-tablers. Head on over to Full Tilt and try a Matrix or 2 for yourself. I'm sure you'll have a blast.
