Making the most money is the most important factor. Pool sizes are an important consideration, but not to the exclusion of all other factors. Making the most money is a combination of your edge (including any rebates), the total amount you bet on that edge, and the minimizing of payout reductions caused by your own wager. It is easier to identify an edge (or a bigger edge) with larger field sizes where many different opinions and confusion exist, versus smaller fields where profitability is much harder to find. A smaller field which offers the benefit of large pool sizes but a smaller edge may be shunned in favor of larger field opportunies with smaller pools but a more favorable edge. Making the most money is therefore a delicate balance of a number of factors.
