Both have pros and cons. A big one has a bigger prize, but it's harder to win. A smaller one is the opposite.

I don't have time or patience to play for extremely long periods,

a small tourney or a cash game is perfect👍

The question should perhaps fast or slower blinds, along with chip stacks allocated.:)

I was never afraid of big tournaments for that is the place where poker players make theyr debut and grow! Having the feeling of beating 2k people and finishing in the first players is a story by itself to tell. So for me big tournament all the way. Its a good place where you can test your strategy. I find small games, too easy to win if you use a poker hud and track / get to know your players.

My favorites are in the 200-400 players so not super big. Payouts get better with more players.

I prefer tournaments with few people, big tournaments with a large number of players I only play once a week on Sundays, it takes a lot of time, I prefer to play more small tournaments with few players.

The more people, the more prize money and the more chances to get to the ITM. I prefer big tournaments, they are more promising in my opinion.

Big tournaments are better to play because they obviously have more prizes. But for players who are short on time, there are tournaments that don't last long, such as spin and go tournaments or Blast tournaments. Although in general, the faster the tournament, the more luck will play a role in it.

I would choose a big one with many players , I am lured by big prizepools . But I think the right answer might be the small ones , small tournaments, not 100% sure

Large tournaments have a large number of people and many prizes. Small tournaments have a small number of people and few prizes. What is my choice?
Of course, large tournaments with a large number of people and a large number of prizes. The choice is obvious. If I have little time, I don't look for a quick tournament, I just go for a smoke break.
