Matrix poker on Full Tilt. Intense. It requires being able to process a lot of information in a hurry. For now, I'm still sure it will end up being rigged, but they were kind enough to me tonight to allow a 5th place finish that I won an astoung (gasp!) 800 chips on a 10k buy in. But since I took the chumps for 20k at Omaha, I'll let it slide.
The basic premise of Matrix poker is that you play the same 8 other players on 4 9 player tables. Points are awarded for knocking a player out (beating when they go all in) and surviving. If you aren't artificial intelligence, you have to be careful that you don't click the wrong box on the wrong table...like raising when you have 26 on the table that you were trying to raise on your pair of aces. Or folding your nut flush thinking it was your pocket pair getting a solid set.
As I said, the play is quick. Not just lightning quick. Lightning juiced up by Comcast high speed internet's metallic substance from their commercials with some hog slime and 5 gallons of caffeine put on top of it quick.
I relish the challenge. I can play four tables competentely at one time. This should be a break from the tedium of folding millions of hands at Omaha Hi Lo. And if I'm right, within a couple of months, just like catching UB in Beta test on blackjack, they will begin to make even me taking fifth almost impossible.
