I thought your post was pretty good, Aeq. IMO, accumulating said big stack is much more difficult that learning how to play with it. When I do get one, I usually crank up the aggression, but not constantly... I kinda do it in spurts, if that makes sense. I'll open my game for an orbit, and then play my usual tighter game for 2 or 3.... Then I'll open it up again, and so on. I'll try to see more cheap flops than usual, and I keep the pressure on post flop.
What I DON'T do (well, shouldn't do - unfortunately I often do) is start getting myself in trouble by playing marginal hands too aggressively preflop. Nothing sucks worse than raising with 88 preflop, only to have someone behind you push in. You've got him covered by a ton and are getting like 2.5:1 to make the call, so you do and sure enough his TT holds up. Dammit... that cost a hell of a lot more chips than it should have.... Know what I mean?
I really like seeing more cheap flops when I have chips to burn and saving the aggression for after the flop.
