Playing poker with a big stack, you'll be more likely to come into play as a possible big win pays attempts to collect the rare combination of strong (on the basis of pocket pairs, suited connectors, etc.). However, to make your debut with a long stack did not fail, you have to first of all learn how to easily fold most hands that do not have enough chances to win. From habit easy to go all-in when playing the big stack should be discarded, because the losses can be high.

Mastering the basics of poker when you go to play with a big stack, it is advisable to reduce its current limit on one level. Although some part of the game with a full stack slowly, playing short, and buy in addition to some particularly profitable tables to complete the stack after winning a certain amount - this way, too, is acceptable, and it successfully tested a lot of players.

You play as you normally would play do not try and do too much as a big stack i.e. play hands you normally would not play or make calls and bluffs just because you can afford too.
My guess is you need to improve your post flop play. Search for deep stacks and post flop play strategies they should help you improve.

Depends on comfort. If you are told to be aggressive and are not comfortable being such,you will just be doubling up players as they exploit you.
some players see a big stack early and get really aggro against them thinking they are a fish or unwilling to get involved with such a chip lead.

The one thing I really narrow down is position play. Meaning I am not looking to play aggressively in early position with so many left to act. I limp like crazy because people think it is super dumb and it establishes a weak image.

I usually play my normal game as chip leader until the final table when pressure can be applied to shorter stacks

TY for your post)

Hi .As a chip leader,you need to play agressive and play more cards.This will affect opponents and they will be pressured.C bet all the time as chip leader and you will be in money prizes for sure !Good luck to all

Serious raises are a must, push anybody toying folding into folding. no limping into hands !!

As said play proper hands but play them with confidence, after all make a mistake your still in

We need to play agresivno but watch against any opponent! In the early stages of the tournament, still a lot of fish that will go all in! And in front of you will be a difficult choice how to play on! After all, having a probability of loss AA 18%, and you do want to get to the final table !!

In early stages stack advantage doesnt mean so much. That being said, play your usual poker. In the late stages to make too make pressure on your opps with your stack, but be ready to face with all-ins from shorts (<15bbs)

bluff, agressive play and on good card 4 bet preflop if u hit flop raise again...

as the chip leader i tighten up because i can, i focus on the players around me try and find out what there bad habbits are, a big stack enables me to wait a lil and study my opponents before getting into big hands with them, i rarely flip calling all ins because i have a stack and dont need to get involved in flipping too often for little reward, instead i look for the opportunitys to carry on gaining a stack without putting a huge stack on the line

however if its later on in the MTT and effective stacks of opponents require me to be agro then i will be, you cant always bully a 10bb player into folding as he has no fold equity, so i can attack the 20bb type players who have a stack that they can risk

I will play my normal game as chip leader.

Will a big stack I don't want to lose it. I would like to get into pots with middle stacks you can bully not small stacks that are likely to shove hoping for a double up, unless they are really small and it won't affect my stack.

WHAT LOL. This is really not helping. If you went recklessly because you think you have more money than others, you would end up being kicked out before the final. In an opposite manner, you should play tighter than yourself when having medium stack but being aggressive when needed.

play your game As well and try to put pressure on the table with his stack

1. Than closer to the end of the tournament of subjects the value of a cheepleadrs is higher. At the beginning of the tournament the cheeplead in general is unimportant, especially against fishes (I will repeat, I consider influence of the size of a stack on FE against opponents).
2. The well the stack against you plays, the it is more to it to on your cheepleading. It should be doubled and against whom to be exposed to it absolutely not very well.
3. The won counters always lose the price in comparison with lost with each growth of a stack. For example, your stack 30K, average stack 15K. In such situation exposure 10K of counters on chances of 50%-50% is not a zero coin, but minus. However, if to consider a call on a smaller part of a stack, then also minus, from the point of view of ChipsEV, the call as we show to a table that loose calls, in us it isn't necessary to bluff and stealing blinds is often profitable.

First, if there is no experience of a game with a big stack, then it is better not to change cardinally anything in the strategy. Attempt at once to pass to a game with the LAG having received a cheepleading of a table will be in this case a mistake. Let the big stack will just give advantage in an opportunity to wait for a good situation for a draw of big bank or exposure. The only thing that can be done directly, so it to put the bigger raise with not ready hands like joint stock company. For example, not 3BB, and 4-5.

I try to play, while the chip leader, as well as always. Do not let yourself go into the game with a small map and collect a combination with a small chance of success. There is a chance of losing a large part of the stack

I guess it depends how you got the chips. If you are playing pretty loose and getting lucky, the luck ends. I would tighten up and protect my stack.

If you are playing tight and running well, that ends too. I might open my range up a bit and take a few more chances, but the main thing is to protect the stack. There is just not much in the pot to take a lot of chances that early in a tournament.

You will find that it is extremely difficult to run start to finish as the chip leader. Kind of like the unicorn of poker. The math just doesn't allow something like that often. I would play small pots until the blinds got bigger and antes start.

It depend,cards,positions and other players.
You can't be agresive with 27 or you can't fold AK.
Play your game and it will be perfect!

if you are lucky and you have a lot of chips at the start of a pause and then play as normal as you get to the money 80%

With an big i stay calm and play only good hands,dont start to play aggresive and try to bluff with any cards,because in a few hands you may be the smallest stack from 1st.

I certainly agree with so many of the respondents. Play your normal game. The only exception I might make is in Big MTT freerolls, to get to the money a Huge stack is needed so I might take more aggressive large bets on less than premium hands trying to increase my stack, but not just to steal blinds in early play

In general, I like to apply the snow ball strategy, but it depends a lot on the table. Against aggro players and some Regs it will not work, so keep playing in position, selecting more your range of hands, but always trying to put all players in table into constant pressure.

Remember, with many chips, you don´t need to bluff so much, avoid create some spots that you´ll be committed to the pot.
