I am looking to play some tournaments on pokerstars. My question is this ...

How do you calculate tournament value and figure out which tournaments are worth the buy in ?

for example PL omaha tourn 1969109240, buy in $7.50, gntd $300 , 33 players.

Prizes;
1st $136
2nd $82
3rd $50
4th $31


anther tournament 1969109274 PLO 6 max 2k gtd

20 players , buy in is $22 1st prize $1300 2nd $700

WHich is better and why ?

I see it like this:

The 7.50 gives you 18x buy ins for first with probably weaker competition yet a slightly larger field.

The 22$ give you 59x buy ins with a slightly smaller field but probably greatly tougher competition.

Depends on where you feel your skills rank on this scale I guess.
