Goodbye Matrix?

As I near level 4 in my plan, I have some decisions to make. I've been playing mostly Matrix tournaments on Fult Tilt, in which you play four tables at once against the same eight opponents, and you get prizes for 1-3 on each table, and 1-3 in overall scoring. They are fun to play, and also cool because their structure helps you offset the variance in poker (you can get unlucky and knocked off 3/4 tables, but if you win the fourth one, make most of your money back).

However, there isn't much Matrix action above the $20 level - not sure why. So I will probably need to start playing regular 9-person SNGs (sit-n-gos) rather than Matrices. The only real differences are 1) Playing mutliple tables would be against different opponents, so a little trickier to track tendencies, and 2) There's no overall prize pool. Yet the 9-person SNGs go up as high as I could ever want to play, so it seems to be the direction I need to go in. Will keep you posted as to how it goes. Thanks for listening.
