actually, part of the reason I play FT is because I like smaller fields -

I have an easier time making the money and withstanding the swings of luck with 100-300 players - you get into 2K players and I only make one of a hundred final tables - with less players I can make 5 to 10 times as many -

In response, both Party and Pokerstars have started tourneys with limited buyin fields - like 300 and 100 that start after a mega tourney - that way if you want a lower playing field you can have one - not everyone wants to slog thru 2500 players every tourney.
