I posted it a while bak but cant find it. but basically you play same six or nine players against each other in four different SnG's running at the same time the positions being the only different factor.

in the full tilt forums these are not liked so much. why let this 5th pricepool influence your game? myself has made some profit with it; but i make better profit with common SNGs...
a good reason to play them is when you have a tiny bankroll. you can get 4 games for a dollar then

I already played those matrix tournaments! It is funny to play them because its new and original. But at the same time, you lose a lot of time and you dont get a lot of money of it! If I were you I wouldnt play them, knock out tournaments are better!

I prefer the double or nothing type games. The matrix is too crazy, and you have to perform on at least 3 tables to be in good money. Better just to start playing 4 games at once.

Four games really isn't a lot for me at fulltilt. The tables can be resized and don't change back unlike on partypoker where its impossible to keep an eye on several tables and they keep popping up. Fulltilt for me is the best for multi-tabling. I took great advantage of the take2 promo as I usually play two tables anyway plus a tourney as well sometimes. In the past I've played six or seven tables no problem but some were freerolls and I probly would avoid risking money this way.
But I do agree that if your going to play matrix you may as well play four different sngs.

awood88, four games are usually not a problem. But the same 10 players on 4 tables, usually on turbo is not comfortable for the most players. And the problem is that you basically have to perform well on all (or at least 3) tables.

I agree with you. Playing the same 10 players and having to perform against them well in three out of four to make it worth your while is obviously not such a good idea. I was replying to doironijs who says that four tables is too many to control which imo it isn't and lomax who said he can't play four at a time.
