I'd rather take more money since it would allow me to get coaching, meaning my chances of getting to the top once again would grow exponentially.

I am like most people here and would definitely take fortune (especially 1.5 mil) over fame, but right now just learning good poker and continually increasing bankroll is important.

Fortune, if 150k vs 1.5 Million.

I am a discrete person so I'm sure the best for me would be more money, then yes I would like to get a recognition, first the financial stability first.

Its simple... Money.
With 1,5m$ i could be happy, i dont need fame, life costs. With that kind of money i could go to another wsop and then win a bracelet :)
Money first.

I'm curious what would you choose in this scenario (just an example):D

1. to win a WSOP bracelet (Eternal Glory) but with $150k Up top
or
2. Cash 4th place in a big tourney and win $1.5m

Fame or Fortune let me know!
for me at first, it would be better to win 4th place and earn 1.5 million for further games, and then could have a good rest and play in other tournaments and try to win bracelets and other prizes, so I choose option 2 -for this I would be better!

If I had to choose between fame and fortune, I would choose fortune ... Fame does not make me feel uncomfortable

Kind of go hand in hand as your financial status improves most of the time so does social status.

But if I had to choose I'd say the fortune over notarity any day.

Interesting question! For me it would definitely be the second option—to get fourth place but $1.5 million. As they say, money talks! :)

Easy one for me - going for the $1.5 million - that would make a nice addition to the retirement fund and I could help out a few family members. Much more value than fame. :)

I do not need fame to live, winning a bracelet would be a huge feat but I still prefer fortune

Fortune, because i hate everyone. What use would it be to be famous if you think everyone else but yourself is a big dork.It is useless to want to try and impress anyone.

Cash me. It's easy to be famous these days. Just put up a video a lot of people watch. Winning $1.5 mil is a stupid amount of money that most people will never see in their life. Take the money haha

I pragmatically choose the money. This is more logical and perspective for me.
