Building Huge Chip stacks

[AllanD23]

Whats people"s opinions on the average stack amount?

even my home game the 2 big stacks at the break were first out last time...never even made the final table...

That was a hell of a long winded post just to get a dig in  

rofl sorry eck, was actuallly meaning the game before last but you are right, you did have a huge stack at one point, you not going to offer some advice on how not to play the big stack ?

p.s. i don"t do short winded

I"m hardly ever the big stack early so no idea how to play it  

I know a 3rd bottle of wine isn"t a great idea but certainly leads to some creative play  

just wish i could remember some of it..

Another way is to get all the lower denomination chips  

[The Codd]

Some people just get sick luck though ( Eck )

If only 0.5% get an abnormal amount of luck in a tournament, with 1000 runners, that"s still 5 people that will have a huge stack in the early stages.   Just waiting for my time.

Agree with most posts on here though, my main concern is my position in relation to the blinds, then the average stack.  You can"t win a tourney in an hour, you need to be in for the duration.
