when your in the top ten of a multi table tournament lets say ten times the average, Do you slow play and wait for the good hands and play honest or do you lossen up and play a little more bully play and take more chances?

You're already ITM so you have nothing to lose. Just go all out aggro and bully everyone else out of hands anytime you have the equity to do so.

I don't think he means he is in the money, I read it as he is in the top ten of chip stacks during the tourney. ;)

I still look for good spots.....I might 3bet more in position but limping in more or raising with mediocre hands out of position just sets up to have to bet more with less info and can definitely bring you down and destroy anointed champion image.

Depends on the style of the other players. If they're nitty and are gonna let me pound them, by all means. But if there are a few aggrodonks I'll just wait for a good hand and let them donate to me. Obviously gonna find more spots to bully medium stacks and steal blinds/resteal them.

I tend to play nitty myself so I find sitting back a bit works better for me.

What is this "play honest" you speak of??? Lol, I tend to play by the "gotta give action to get action" theory and the "its a betting game" theory so I say get all aggro on em.

Well if he's the huge bigstack at the table that becomes a prime spot for screwing around with the shortstacks, stealing blinds and antes and building an even bigger stack to stay well ahead of the blind structure. If there's a lot of deepstacked people at the table it's harder to push them around so it's better to slow down.
