If the average size of the pots is the same, the real advantage of whether I would like big pots occasionally or smaller pots consistently would clearly be to win larger pots occasionally.

Because it would mean that I would give away less information since I would not have to reveal my cards as often. Therefore, I would prefer big pots occasionally.

Both are part of an MTT, you need to often feed your stack with small bluffs, or situations where you will pull small amounts, this is mainly for you to maintain a healthy stack, and not lose your stack until you reach hands of equity to get big pots, so both are essential parts of an MTT, of course we are happier with big pots, but both are fundamental.

It's a nice choice, but it's a pity it's only conditional. For me, a big pot is more desirable. Now my game is so organised that I win quite often, but the prizes are small. In general, I make $100-120 per month, but I play at least 4 days a week. And if I had a choice, I would rather win this $100-120 at once than collect these winnings little by little.

I think it depends a lot on the type of game, but generally it's best to win big jackpots with big hands and small jackpots from time to time.

I want to win constantly, I want as many wins as possible. You always feel better after a win regardless of size.

Playing aggressively helps me build big pots and apply pressure on opponents. I create opportunities by forcing tough decisions. Controlled aggression keeps opponents on edge, making it harder for them to read me.

I prefer big pots when I have a strong hand or a strategic advantage, but playing small pots can be smart for controlling variance and managing risk
