I needed help in this regard of big stack strategy about 3 weeks ago.
I played in a 60 man $10 buy in tournament where the final table of 6 got paid. House (actually school) added $200 extra.
I made it to the final table at there were 4 players remaining. I was 2nd in chips and myself and the Big stack were very close in chips, approx 4000 and 4800 chips. The other two stacks were about 1200 and 2000. The blinds were at 100/200 and about to move to 200/400.
So to make a long story short, I got in a large hand with the Big stack when I had top pair to the river and eventually folded leaving me with about 1500. The BB then hit me and I got blinded out before the other two.
If I had it to do again, I would have waited for the other two players to get knocked out or blinded away. Would have made myself $200+ instead of $100. I learned a valuable lesson though.
