I'm curious what would you choose in this scenario (just an example) What would you rather choose Fame or Fortune?

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, the material result is important, with the help of which I can realize my dream and help others realize their dreams. I do not need glory, I do not have this vanity.
Good luck at the tables.

#3 May 29th, 2019, 5:31 PM

I knew glory in a previous job..... .. .. .......

..so I'll take the money, please. I know what to do with it!

-TRP-

2 is the best hard

#5 May 29th, 2019, 5:32 PM

I would like to get a bracelet

#6 May 29th, 2019, 5:43 PM

Hey

I think with fame comes fortune.

Lot of people get fame for some achievement they do and than fortune follows them.

Thats my opinion, as I have not achieved any fame yet. What would you rather choose Fame or Fortune?

#7 May 29th, 2019, 7:02 PM

I think that who has fortune will have fame!

I doubt someone remembers who won WSOP. Even poker players don't remember. Since it's a new player every year.

#9 May 29th, 2019, 7:40 PM

Hmmm I think this Question....

Obviously "Fortune", you can be famous for any thing even killing John Lennon...

With Fortune its best to be Infamous rather than Famous, it's always better that the majority of people in your life fear you rather than love you...

Obviously Your Wife and Mother should never fear you, your children should love and respect you with just a touch of fear lol Every one else should watch their step... Im sounding more like my father every day lmao

#10 May 29th, 2019, 9:27 PM

I prefer fortune to fame.

#11 May 29th, 2019, 9:33 PM

Show me the money....

#12 May 29th, 2019, 9:44 PM

give me the money

#13 May 31st, 2019, 4:11 PM

Interesting question. In my current situation when poker is mostly hobby for me i will take the bracelet and 150K. Such amount of money is completely enough for me. What would you rather choose Fame or Fortune?

#14 May 31st, 2019, 6:02 PM

No contest the money wins hands down What would you rather choose Fame or Fortune?

#15 May 31st, 2019, 6:34 PM

Hello.
I choose the second option. In that case, I would have more time to study and play. In addition, I just need some money.

#16 May 31st, 2019, 6:42 PM

Fortune, no doubt about it.

#17 May 31st, 2019, 6:49 PM

Win the 1.5 after I already have the money in my pocket or I will play the WSOP ... kkkkkkkk

#18 May 31st, 2019, 6:59 PM

Of course this bracelet WSOP, I do not even need money, give the bracelet

#19 May 31st, 2019, 7:05 PM

I prefer to win 1.5 million dollars !!! With this money I can do a lot of good things and help not only myself but also many people !!!

#20 May 31st, 2019, 7:25 PM

I prefer fame because it is linked with money hahaha

#21 May 31st, 2019, 11:44 PM

Rather be associated with fortune than fame. Pretty simplistic in my everyday life. Rather not deal with people from fame and avoid those seeking something from me.

#22 June 1st, 2019, 12:29 AM

What do i care a complete stranger knows my name/face? What would you rather choose Fame or Fortune?

Would take 200K first.

#23 June 1st, 2019, 1:14 AM

I would rather have a meager fortune, over being immensely famous.

#24 June 1st, 2019, 1:15 AM

Fame because fortunate comes from fame.

#25 June 1st, 2019, 4:21 AM

Fortune, fortune, fame can come along or, I will just stay fortune, if the fame don't come along. fortune, fortune.

#26 June 2nd, 2019, 5:53 PM

2 the only thing that matters is the money What would you rather choose Fame or Fortune?

#27 June 2nd, 2019, 6:38 PM

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.

#28 June 2nd, 2019, 6:47 PM

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.

#29 June 2nd, 2019, 6:51 PM

Fortune, if 150k vs 1.5 Million.
Prob you are better on ESPN TV for main event.

#30 June 2nd, 2019, 6:55 PM

I'd like to win something meaningful. What would you rather choose Fame or Fortune?

#31 June 2nd, 2019, 9:55 PM

My choice 2. I'm more interested in the money What would you rather choose Fame or Fortune?

#32 June 3rd, 2019, 2:05 AM

I would rather make money from what fame, but it would be good to win a bracelet
What would you rather choose Fame or Fortune?

#33 June 3rd, 2019, 7:03 AM

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.

#34 June 3rd, 2019, 10:35 AM

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 What would you rather choose Fame or Fortune?

Money first.

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!

#36 June 6th, 2019, 1:27 AM

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

#39 June 6th, 2019, 6:16 AM

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.

#40 June 6th, 2019, 9:46 AM

like the primary needs of a person - food(cash) first, then entertainment(glory)

#41 June 6th, 2019, 3:16 PM

Interesting question! For me it would definitely be the second option�to get fourth place but $1.5 million. As they say, money talks! What would you rather choose Fame or Fortune?

#42 June 6th, 2019, 3:19 PM

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. What would you rather choose Fame or Fortune?

#43 June 6th, 2019, 4:01 PM

As much as I love to win I would take money over glory any day wouldnt thank you to be famous but to be wealthy.... What would you rather choose Fame or Fortune?

#44 June 11th, 2019, 2:13 AM

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

#45 June 11th, 2019, 7:36 PM

I chose fortune

#46 June 11th, 2019, 7:46 PM

I have to become a major of the town.

#47 June 11th, 2019, 7:48 PM

keep the bracelet, I'll take the money

#48 June 11th, 2019, 9:48 PM

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.

#49 June 11th, 2019, 9:53 PM

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.
