The Matrix Revolution

Hi,

Not too much to write about really, was in London till Thurs caught up with some family so that was cool. Played 2 plo sessions since i got back, one half a bi in the 1st stint but then donked away 1.5bi's cuz i was too busy watching the footy, L'pool Vs Bolton.

Got an email from Full Tilt about their Matrix sng's so thought i would give em a try. Basically they are a set of 4sng's played simultaneously with the same set of players and there is an overall leader board for the best performing players based on knockouts and where u finish.

First of all played a $6 6handed turbo and got a 1st and 2nd and won the leader board so i got back $12.

Next one played a plo 6handed and started off horribly, i called 3 raises on the 1st hand with very marginal hands. The great thing about these are they are they have a predicted leader board which is constantly updating depending on chip counts. I went straight to the bottom, by a long way. After starting to play properly and some nice hands i was quickly top of the table.

It became clear there was only one other good player, i had come 2nd and bubbled 2 one in a horrible outdraw when i had acesxx and the guy called my ai after raising with 2467 and hit 2 pair. The last game was the decider with me slightly ahead on the table but needing to beat the other good player who had come 1st, 2x2nd and 5th. I did end up winning and again doubled my money.

Great thing about these i think is the rake is the same as 1sng so i think for bankroll management i count these as 4 different sng's, not that i'm really one for br management!!!

I think these are just what i needed as i was starting to get a bit bored with poker.
