I clearly know how to play a short stack, but do i know how to manage a big one? Playing the $40 daily tournament yesterday was unstoppable early, quickly amassing over 3x starting stack. Unfortunately my table broke and was moved to a seat immediately to the left of 2 lucky idiots with big stacks. It was an aggressive table with lots of preflop and flop shoving. The wheels began coming off when in the unraised big blind with A/10 both players limp. The flop comes 10S/9D/3D. I bet almost pot (think blinds were 200/400) and both players call. Turn is JS. I bet 3000 into the 4000 pot. They both call. River is 7S. We all check. Small blind turns over K/8 D for the rivered straight. Crap, chased the flush and backed into straight.
Moving tables again, I raise from the cutoff with A/6, and yes I am a little on tilt. The big blind calls, flop is A/10/10. He checks, I c-bet and he shoves a small stack. Call. He has A/K, and I am now short., with 3 blinds. I limp with J/9, big blind bets the K/9/x and I call. He reveals K/9, and I am gone. 60 plus players, out in maybe 25th place talking to myself.

Don't feel alone. I've been known to talk to myself all the way from Pendleton to Pasco LOL.
