Latter Stages Of STT Play

[Samba_SamPa]

Hey all, just wondering what your opinion is regarding this situation: I was playing a €25 5-man STT yesterday, and had a commanding chip advantage of approximately 5200-1300-1000. Blinds were still just 25/50. I am the Button and I have AKs.

• Do you play this the same way as you would normally

• Do you play it more aggressively knowing you have plenty chips to bully the others?

• Do you leave it, not wanting to double either of the others up, and wait for the other 2 to tangle?

i would raise 4xbb and hope for a call/raise. i dont wanna scare anyone out really but i also dont wanna give an easy ride,if i get reraised im happy to push all in with a call or raise. i would be bullying but not neccesarily betting bigger,just more often:ok a lot of the time in this situation the other 2 will try to outlast each other and if you keep constant pressure up you can get nearly all the chips before you get hu,if not it could be only 2 to 1 on chips instead of a 5+to 1 advantage. you can aford to lose 1 big hand at this point and still be way in front of the shortstack so ther's no way i'm not gonna play ak. if you've already been aggresive then theres a good chance someone with ax will reraise you so a standard bet seems best to me.
