[BIG NIGE]

The main difference is that if you get a big stack, don't play big pots with other big stacks; instead, steal blinds from tight players and play pots with smaller stacks. In the early levels its similar to plaing a cash game, but as the blinds go up and the antes kick in, most pots will be won preflop, and much fewer hands will go to the river without an all-in. The main thing is survival. Once you get a big stack you don't want to risk it when you have most players covered.
