    I was in the lucky position recently to be the chipleader for the latter stages of a live tournament recently and am not sure if I used the big stack to its full potential?

    advice please

    Bully bully bully. Raise Raise Raise. In the correct spots of course. Pressure the middle stacks, but be weary of the short stacks as they're liable to push.

    Do plenty of button and cut-off raises, raise when it's folded around to you. Just pressure everyone.


    Be aware of how everyone else is doing, and their relative ms.

    Don't try and steal mr shorties bb when he only has a couple of bb left with muck, cause more likely than not he'll push and you'll want some sort of hand to call with.


    On a side note, it might be advisable to keep a short stack alive if it's around bubble time, or where there's a big step in prize money as it'll make alot of middle stacks more passive, especially if you make it clear in pots that they're playing for their stack.
