Last night at my table there were two big stacks when I sat down. One guy was gambling/raising/buying pots while the other big stack was playing tight.

After an hour, the Buying Guy was down to about 3 buy-ins, and the Tight Guy was up to almost 5 buy-ins.

I'm not saying one hour is a fair sample set. I'm just saying you don't have to become a bully just because you have a big stack. Everyone's looking for a hand to break the bully. But everyone's really afraid of the tight guy. When Tight-Big comes in, everyone knows they better have a real hand.

I try to stay tight when I have a stack. But if you should get 3 good hands in a row, you're going to get paid off on the third because everyone thinks you bullying.
