babylondonks 5 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 How long do these normally take? Link to post Share on other sites
Lrgetrout 1 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 How long do these normally take?Both the one I played, and the one I watched, took between 40-45 minutes to finish (both turbos). Link to post Share on other sites
Vtlaxer09 4 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 this is the stupidest thing in the world... but donks will just be like COOL MATRIX and play them.... It probably wont affect your winrate too much over the regular sng's but your hourly rate will be severely reduced since you have to play 4 tables in 1 sng. Link to post Share on other sites
Fubar The Sperm 1 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 The play is so bad but its so frustrating. Played 2 and made a little money but got boned for the matrix scores by miracles in both. 2nd game I had 3 2nd places finishes and finished 4th overall. Link to post Share on other sites

outsider13 0 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I think they are really fun to play. It kind of combines poker and a video game type challenge to it. I don't think they a very profitable at all, but fun to play when bored. Link to post Share on other sites

Rather than playing say a 11 +1 sng, I'll just play a 33+3 matrix. Something to get rid of some of the boredom. Link to post Share on other sites

Oziumrules 0 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I just played one and won it..BRAG POST. It gave me a headache, not worth my $$$$$. I'd rather sniff glue. I'd get the same results. Link to post Share on other sites

outsider13 0 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 These are seriously my new favorite poker game. I'm really not winning anything but they are seriously loads of fun. I guess I'm easily amused. I've played about 7 of the $5 ones and I'm up about 8 bucks. They are definitely not bankroll builders. Link to post Share on other sites

I lost a few bucks but it's been enjoyable. Link to post Share on other sites
Jambot 0 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 you won all 4? My first go at one (just a cheapie I know) and I got the lot. That should clear up the confusion about what you win if you come first in all four. You don't scoop the total prize pool. Lots of fun. Link to post Share on other sites

That should clear up the confusion about what you win if you come first in all four. You don't scoop the total prize pool. Lots of fun.But you do scoop the whole "Matrix Pool." In your 6-max SNG, the Matrix Pool would have paid 1st $4.68 and 2nd $2.52, but you took both by sweeping all 4. Link to post Share on other sites
TheCinciKid 0 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 When I first looked at these, I figured they were -EV and left them alone. But then I read this thread and decided to give it a shot. Definitely not very profitable and certainly not a way to build a bankroll, but the competition of it was fun, and I'm starting another. That and I only cashed in one, finishing 2nd and still managed to get third in the Matrix pool, so obviously the competition can't be very good. Link to post Share on other sites

litlebullet 0 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 bump just tried one of these and i'm pretty hooked. I usually only play AP sits because they are soft and I don't get rakeback at tilt but my god these are like the softest things ever... less variance and I'll just move up and play some 30$s see where I go from there.

king1305 0 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Thought I'd play one for the hell of it.Was kinda fun. Link to post Share on other sites
jmbreslin 0 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Just tried one of these for the first time after moving some money over to FT. Lots of fun but the return seems disappointing.Played a $2.25 and finished 1st, 2nd, 2rd, and 5th, and 2nd overall in the Matrix race. Thought I'd be in for a nice profit but my total take was only $4.68, just barely doubling my money.Interestingly, though, if I had just played 4 separate $2.25's, my entry fees would have totalled $9 and my returns would have totalled $18 - pretty much exactly the same ROI as in the matrix. So they could be a good rollbuilder for someone who is good at multi-tabling but has a very, very small roll.*Edit: of course they make zero sense from a bonus-clearing perspective...

Snake Plissken 0 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I'd like to try this out. No money on full tilt though... Anyone wanna transfer some $ to me on full tilt and I'll send the same amount to you on pokerstars? You have to have a decent amount of posts and be recognized around here. And yeah np, I'll send first Link to post Share on other sites
Orion071 0 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I just played a $100 one last night and it was kind of frustrating.First one I called a raise with 87s. Flop came J87 and he goes all-in. $1300 into a $400 pot so I call and he has KK. Board runs out 55 and I finish 9th.Second one I have AA vs. KK against the same guy and he wins with a flush. I finish 9th again.I win the last 2 to finish 2nd in matrix points and I take home $234.I might have been able to sweep the whole thing without those suckouts. Link to post Share on other sites
