Default |:::Poll:::| WSOP or WPT?? Which do you prefer??

I have seen a LOT of people striving for the World Series of Poker...but not so many are chasing after the World Poker Tour...

I am curious to see, which would you prefer, if given the opportunity to play in one or the other and why??

Personally, I'd go for the World Poker Tour, just because I tend to see VERY large payouts, some much larger than the World Series of Poker, and you get the opportunity to play overseas and learn the different techniques around the world.

A bit like Mike above me said, I prefer WSOP until the time that WPT arranges a fixed limit hold'em tournament.

There is much more history in the WSOP, and also, as of last year, there is a WSOP Europe, so there is a chance to play in a wider range of games in the US and Europe.

Yeah WPT gives watches rather than bracelets, but the good thing is you get a beer afterwards LMAO *kidding*

Although the WSOP has very nice commentary, I prefer WPT because the field is tougher and viewers get shown more interesting plays.
