Default Big chip lead, how do you wield the big stack??

I notice that I don't play big chip stacks very well. I think I just don't really know how to take advantage of it. I think its because I've read books like HOH that help you go deep in a tournament with more or less conservative play, but if for some reason I stumble on a large chip stack, I am sort of clueless in how to accumulate any more chips. I was just wondering if someone could point out some generic tips on how to build a large stack further. thanks.

This is a topic that has plagued me as well. Greg "Fossilman" Raymer is supposed to be releasing a Two Plus Two book that covers this topic in detail. Until then, maybe we'll get a post from someone who will reply with a bit less sarcasm...

the simple, quick answer is to reraise medium stacks and put them to the test. also, read the sticky in the MTT forum, this is the MTT community. You'll also get more responses there too.
