This is a great question.

My own opinion is that your EV will go up quite a lot in the long tournament but which is "best" is not quantifiable because it depends on your bankroll considerations and what risk of ruin you are prepared to run

My reasoning for EV going up.

Imagine a tournament that consisted of a ten single table tournaments against the same opposition and points being awarded at the end of each one.

This is some sort of simulation of a longer tournament, albeit a poor one.

Certainly if you had the highest +EV of the ten players, you would win this tournament a much higher %age of the time than you would win a single game.

Take it to the silly extreme that you win outright 80% of each single table tournament...you would be unbeatable in the series (Figure of speech guys..figure of speech)


However this is EV per tournament, and does not consider the greater risk, and also the EV per hour.

So as to which is "best" its very dependent, my view is that small and quick is better, but only because it suits my small roll.
