I don't usually have this problem, but yesterday in the Fult Tilt Facebook freeroll I caught fire just after the pay line and ran my stack to about 50K, 15K more than the next nearest player. 40/400 Players left, blinds were 600/300. Not a turbo game, 10 minute levels. It's a freeroll, so play was generally loose, but the prize pool was decent so the game was not crazed.
I had some early success pushing mid-sized stacks around, lost what seemed like a disproportionate share of hands in races against smaller stacks who pushed. Took a catastrophic beat when I played 10-10 aggressively into a non-threatening flop against one player who wouldn't let his 3-3 go, and turned his set. Ended up losing about 2/3 of my stack in that hand, from there on it was my usual lower-middle of the pack scramble.
Following the wsop ME from year to year, you see lots of players with huge stacks on Day X disappear on Day Y, so I can't be the only player who doesn't know what to do when the pile of chips gets big. General strategy suggestions on how to play a dominating stack?
