Matrix Tournament

I just finished playing a "Matrix" tournament on Full Tilt, to my dissappointment, Keanu Reeves was nowhere to be found.  I wonder if Neo would know what my cards are before I do? Maybe an interesting scene would be a heads up poker match between Neo and Morpheus instead of the kung fu scene.

Anyway, a Matrix Tournament is a very interesting game, although it doesn't seem very profitable.  It is played with 9 players and 4 tables.  You play 4 different single table SNG's at the same time versus your 8 opponents.  You get points for lasting longer than other players and knocking players out.  You win your share of the prize pool by placing in the money at each table and by scoring more points than the other players.  I think it would be good training to learn to multitable, but I just dont't think there is enough money in it to make it worth while.  Also, there arent many players looking for these tournaments, it took quite awhile for a 9 player tournament to fill up.  I may play these from time to time for an interesting challenge, but for the most part I will stick to cash games and multitable tournaments.

I played a $1.25 Matrix.   I placed 1st at 2 of my tables for $1.80 and 2nd in points for another $.54 for a total of $2.34.  A profit of  $1.09.  My new bankroll balance is $83.20.
