Has any one read or check out this new format of sit and go on fulltilt?? as far as i can tell it seems that you sign up like you would for one sit and go but are placed into 4 matches all vs the same players and the prize pool is split to pay off each tournament. So for example if you buy in to a $10-$1 sit and go thats $90 prize pool but it is split into all 4 matches so if you win one of the 4 matches you end up making $9 for a negative $2 to your bankroll..
what is everyones thoughts on this?? I guess this format would favor the better players- since if you get donked out of one table you still have 3 more chances vs the same players to earn some money.

They can be fun, but are designed to help people lose money and in some cases to lose it just a little slower because you still end up in the red even when you win. In fact it is quite possible for all players to end up in the red.
I don't think they are going to last much cuz you have to do well to make some money out of it. I played one $1.25 to try it and finish 7th in two but then won the other two and won the overall giving me a return of $2.70.
So basically is like I had finished second in a normal 9ppl $1.25 SnG.
You can make better money playing in regular sit-n-go's, unless you win all four Matrix games at once for a scoop, but who is going to do that consistantly?

Just finished playing one for $1 +.25 rake. A lot of action to go on all at once with the tables starting at the same time. I was luck and came second in two tables but not without a lot of knockouts. The other two tables i finished the middle of the pack. $1.06 I made back. I found it too hard to concentrate when playing a hand at all tables. Interesting game and concept but I won't be risking any large amounts here.
If using real money, the return on investment is pretty slim for sure.
But for a bit of something different with playchaips, it was great fun.
Came 1,2,4,5 in mine and got quite a few KO's along the way. A cool way to spend 40 minutes, and 2,000 play chips.
THESE GAMES ARE RETARDED !!!!!!!!!!!!!
