Help with playing a big stack very early in a tourney.

[sharkscopeaholic]

I'm a much better short stack player since i've played so many turbo sng's so i tend to do fairly well when the avg M's go down in the large entrants tourneis but...I've been playing cash games lately and am getting better at getting a big stack earlier in a tourney. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO PLAY WITH THE BIG STACK VERY EARLY THOUGH.

I know you're supposed to play according to your table but I feel lost as to whether i should bully people out of small pots that dont mean much or just to sit back and wait for big hands/everybody else to catch up stack wise.

Last night i got 6000 chips in first ten minutes (1500 chips starting, 1500+ people tourney) and then basically stayed at about 6000 for the next hour and half.

What is the best strategy in this situation?
