I've been wondering for some time if these are any good. Have you become a dominatrix yet?

I think there terrible ! Reason been that i play 10 dollar sngs ! I tend to 4 table and you will get your fair share of poor players in these. The downside of a 10 dollar matrix game is that its the equivalent of a 2.50 sng. Your average 10 dollar sng player who would be a losing player would still play a 10 dollar matrix ! Whereas i would be playing a 40-50 dollar matrix to equal 4 tabling sngs ! Its of my opinion that you just wont have as weak a field playing them.

Anyone agree with this theory or am i missing something?

Yeah i agreed totally, ive played a few and dont really like them. Also alot of donks/fish probably play these once and get a headache trying to play 4 tables at once. As for the higher stakes ones with decent players id say ya have to be watchin the leaderboard alot and play a bit more tactically.

there is one thing about these though, you get better value for money,

example, if you were a 1 dollar sng player you could play 4 1 dollar sng's and it would cost you $5, 4 x $1.25 for a prize pool of $36 (4x9) or you could play the matrix sng for $5.50 for a prize pool of $45

so if your playing $5 dollar turbos why not move to playing $20 matrix for value

I dont play on FT so its not an issue !! i just feel the one fish that might play for a $5 game wont put in the $20 so id be losing a little value

yeah i suppose,
id agree with you on that
