No need to change your play if you've made it that far and have been that successful. If you get good hands, make standard raises, no need to push your stack in when the blinds get that high because people REALLY tighten up to see a flop. You will end up playing most of your hands near the button and in the blinds. There's no need to get careless because 45K in chips can disappear in a matter of hands if you start calling all-ins with an ace or small to medium pocket pair. You want to protect those chips so you can really use them when it counts, and you're ITM

Try to steal at least 3 times every 2 orbits.
Shallow raise 2.5XBB in order that you can get away cheaply.

How would you guys recomend playing as the big stack?
I`m in a tourny at the moment, pays top 20 and I`m in first with about 45k in chips, 2 nd place has about 35k blinds are 300/600 and 10th place has about 18k.
I play tight aggressive in MTT.
Should I sit and wait for premium hands and ensure I get to final table, or loosen up and chance losing chips? As an example, there are 8 at my table at the moment, I am UTG with A7s and I folded - as Harrington says, I folded A with a poor kicker!!!
I have seen so many ppl with a commanding chip lead start to play more hands and their chip lead soon dwindles.
What do u guys think?
