A common problem for me in the mtts where i actually get to build a big stack is that i tend to burn it away trying to bully the table and shortstacks.

THe last mtt i played i had around 18k chips when the second highest at my current table had 6k (at the time i was second in chips overall).
Whenever i got a fairly decent hand i tried to push the smallstacks around, but whenever i tried they seems to welcome the chance to double up, and a few of them did.

My stack dropped, and i went tight again but all went bad at the bubble.

BUt id love to hear what people think about bigstack bullying? Is it better to just continue playing tight and solid or is it usuly okay to open up slightly when you have a big stack advantage?
