I definitely prefer to win one big tournament. It's one of my goals to win at least one big tournament someday.

If we're talking about winning a significant amount of money, then of course I'd choose one big tournament that brings a large payout. But if the goal is simply to enjoy the game, then I'd rather win a lot of small tournaments.

Nothing can compare to winning a big league tournament. Hopefully someday it will happen to me

Winning a major tournament is more about status.

I'd rather be more consistent but all I'm doing is trying to hit a big score and keep crashing myself down..
there are people who learn their lessons from the first mistake and other it take them 99 more mistakes to get the lesson..

Individual results matter less than the quality of your decisions and your long-term Return on Investment.

From my point of view, it's clearly better for proving that you're a good player if you win several tournaments. However, from a financial perspective, one big tournament win is 100% better, since a single tournament can sometimes make you millions. So I'd choose the big tournament win.

I would rather win every day than every month. Frequent wins are a sign of experience and skill.

Of course, it's best to win one big tournament, there's more to win, and there's a chance to write yourself into the history of poker.

We're playing a big tournament for ourselves and we just feel like the level of the opponents is much higher and the chances of getting a foothold are extremely low, and also not everyone knows how to play with a big stack and doesn't know what to do with it.
