a medium-stakes game with a high payout field (say around 30%) or a low-stakes game with a low payout field (say less than 20%).I'm talking about poker tournaments/sit-n-go's.

Since most sit and goes pay the top 3 places on a 10 person table I'd say they have the best overall payout possibilities. If you're on a site like PokerStars, remember that a high payout field event will pay far less than the buy-in until you're about 1/3rd of the way into the payout field. Low payout fields mean more $$ for each place paid, even the early ones, so I'd say they are probably the better deal. Percentage-wise though, S&Gs offer the best chance at a payout.

that's a good question...i don't think the difference in skill level between"low stakes"and"medium stakes"games is enough to make the case for it being the low-stakes tourney with 20% of the field paid...even in a"medium stakes"tourney you still have your share of donkeys in them, so i think the answer is definitely the first tournament, with 30% of the field paid
