I always thought it was odd how playing in a freeroll tourney for 4 fours to win $2.50 always seemed more victorious than placing itm in a small tourney with only 40 or so people AND a bigger prize pool at times. Though I have to say I did play in a tourney back in the dya on Pstars against 5000 people and won $1,700.00 after 9 hours of play. That was grueling. luckily, my wife brought me food and drink when I needed it.
