And i agree with AEQ. The whole point of the big stacks is to bully the short stacks so you can continue to stay in the chip lead, get more people withing touching distance of being out by taking blinds and limps and small raises. Not being agressive with the big stack means that other players will go against each other and youll end up being even with a couple of other players on the table.
The one person i try and stay out of pots with is the guy who has me covered by a long way and i cant bluff him as well as i normally could. he has more collateral to call, and can chase the draws you wouldnt go for if you were a low stack.
