Assuming that it's not doubleing up from extra bad players, do you leave the table so you dont stand out as much?

i hang around for a while but i dont have the skill/practice of being the big stack to push people around into making mistakes i guess this is something i'll learn in time.

I stay.
I love being the deep stacked table bully. This is when I come alive.
I find that this is when the money really starts coming in.
I tend to loosen up a lot more and bet very aggressively when my raggish cards hit the flop hard. By mixing this up with the occasional small loss where my bluff is caught out and shown, people seem to think that i am always bluffing and trying to push them around.
In fact, when I first join a table and i'm grindin it out, playing the cards only, i find it quite boring and don't get much enjoyment out of it. It's when i open up my game and really start "playing the game" that i start having fun.
i love it

It depends. It depends on my mood, if I'm not tilting or game became supertight or it's time to do something else than poker, I stay. Stack size means nothing about player's skills, sometimes people get intimidated but most of the time they dont pay attention. If they are shortstacks, thay are going to call my allins anyway.
A guy sitting with 3-4x buyin is nothing to be feared - they call me all the time. I guess it doesnt matter stack size about players skill, unless you play 10/20 and facing HALLINGGOL headsup, but its another story

I 3was playing on the weekend, my normal game, tight but with a bit of play, bluffing etc. thrown in, and there was a LAGGy chap next to me who was 3.5xbuyin when I joined and 6xbuyin when I left, and he was very chatty, very effective, and it was clear that having a big stack gave him carte blanche to make almost any move he fancied. I can't play quite that loose, and I totally didn't have his knack for making people push their whole stacks into the middle, but I do aspire to being able to do that.
OTOH, I haven't got to 3xbuyin for several weeks, so...

I like playing against the big stack for the pure fact that they are more likely to call me when I hit. I know when I am the big stack, I'm a little looser because I subconsciously think I'm playing with somebody else's money. Wrong way to play, but it happens. I think using that against a player will work. Just have to notice their betting patterns and when you hit, try to trap them.
