Big Stack Tilt

Interesting read. Partial script taken from: "Easy Money" by David Apostolico, Card Player Magazine, May 7, 2008.

"...What happens, however, when you are the one on a rush? We tend to be aware of going on tilt when things go badly, but players can also go on tilt when things are coming too easily. Even a hardened player can start to feel an air of invincibility when sitting behind a mountain of chips.
Inevitably, any rush is going to end... use your big stack as leverage. Just be sure you are adopting a big-stack strategy and not playing just because you believe 'you can't lose and the money will keep coming your way'. Concentrate on making correct decisions for the situation, taking into account all factors. Certainly, the size of your chip stack and the fact that your opponents may be afraid to go up against you should figure into the mix, and you may be able to use that to your advantage if you retain objectivity and stay detached emotionally.

There's a big difference between adjusting to the current situation in a completely objective manner and playing the rush just because you want easy money. If you are looking for easy money, the party will end much quicker."

...this is not directed at anyone in particular (not even EY) :D
