Default Re: Annie Duke... And Won Millions

The problem here is the equivocation of "large" and "small". The stacks you're trying to attack are the ones who have enough chips so that they aren't forced to make a move, but are low enough that they can't put any real pressure on you by threatening to take a lot of your stack. This is of course if you have a large stack. Early in the tournament this isn't really applicable because even if you doubled up, most stacks can still seriously hurt you. Later in the tournament, a big stack might mean 5x or more as much as some of your oponents. That's when you can attack them. They can't put pressure on you so they'll need a hand to play back.
