From what I heard, an antimatter blackhole is just a regular blackhole. So could we use a ridiculous amount of energy to create a lot of pairs of matter/antimatter particles, then somehow bundle the antimatter into a blackhole, and get its energy back as Hawking radiation and keep going? This seems to me like a ridiculously complicated thing to do, but at the end we would have converted energy into matter without having leftover antimatter: could something like that have happen after the Big Bang, leading to more of matter than antimatter?

(It's probably a very naive question: I imagine that I'm not getting something right there.)
