For me, bigger are tournament, more money you can earn ... But, the inconvenient is that you have to be prudent my moment ...
For me, I prefer to play a 200 players 1$ more than playing 20 SnG 10 players for the same result ...
For 1$ tourney with 200 people, it is a prizepool of 200$ distributed like :
70$ for 1st
55$ for 2nd
30$ for 3rd
20$ for 4th
10$ for 5th
[...]
If you play well and you come into 5 first places, then you can win 10$ or more !
It is also a good way to beat some competitors that are playing well, etc.
What I don't like is the rebuy tourneys ... => When I get out a player, I don't want him to come back ...
Just the inconvenient for tourneys with a lot of players is that it is longer to play (it is rarely less than 3/4 hours) but it obliged you to control stress, etc. It is like a chalenge
And if you loose after 3 hours of poker, it is so stressing ! But based on the buy in amount, you easilly can try back another one once the pression has get down
OK, I have to recognize that I like tourney a lot and I'm not really neutral
