I've been playing several single-table no-limit Holdem tournaments on Ladbrokes recently ($10+$1, $20+$2, that sort of thing). I've been doing OK, at least partly thanks to some of the advice I've read here. :ok But one area where I feel I should be doing better is taking advantage of a large stack. When I'm the one with the short stack, I feel the other players manage to bully me far more effectively than I can manage when I'm the one with the money. Any tips?

Re: How to be a bully? Thanks Jezza! As luck would have it, I had a chance to put your advice into practice this evening. I had a little under 6k chips when it got down to 4 players. The guy on my right had the second largest stack, and whenever he folded I bullied the others mercilessly. Worked like a charm! By the time it was down to the last three I had well over 8k. I guess it's harder if the other big stack is to your left? I don't know if it was just coincidence, but when it got down to the last three, the other players seemed more reluctant than usual to bet before me. Maybe because by that time they saw me as an aggressive maniac? Do these tactics work as well at the more exalted levels you play at? Or does it require the short-stacked players to be weak and overly concerned with surviving to the money even at the cost of horribly depleting their chips?
