    Do you think it is easier to make it to the money in a big field that pays out more places...or a small tournement field that only pays out 8-10 places? I think the top 12.5% usually makes the money in both...but which is easier to make it into that top 12.5%?

    smaller field, under 300 is easier to make money than size of over 300 IMHO

    I personally like "smaller", 150-250 person tournaments, because I like being able to control any table I'm at, and with the large 1000+ person tournaments, it is rare that you'll be put at a table in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th hour where you are in a position of power.

    I do a lot better with the smaller fields, maybe because you spend more time short-handed and there are fewer table changes so you don't have as many different people to adjust to.
