Playing tourneys with big stack

From time to time when I play tourneys I get really lucky. I have played with a huge stack and sometimes even the biggest. However, that lucky state has given me problems. How am I supposed to play with a big stack. I have heard: small stacks want to survive, middle stacks take it easy not to risk too much and big stacks bully around. I got a feeling that I need to push and since that's pretty tough I haven't ben very good at it. Instead I have ended up doing some real stupid mistakes, losing most of my stack in one blow and then the rest during the tilt. How do I keep playing good tourney poker and still benefit from my big stack without risking it?

One answer is think twice or even three times when you meet another big stack.

Any more ideas?

Having a big stack means...

-See more flops for reasonable prices. Now you can limp stuff like QJs in EP, and call a small raise if you choose if the opponent is easy, and/or the calling odds are favorable.

-Limp in LP with any two, with the sole purpose of stealing when the opponents act weak. I usually do this on the button. I will basically never fold a button in a limp pot with a high stack. Having more chips gives you more rights to the button.

-Calling raises in LP with a wider range (including any two sometimes), and playing into weakness, or hitting a hand and stacking someone.

You basically want to get involved more, and put a little pressure on people. Not a lot without a hand. Just a little, mostly in position. Take little stabs. The mistake people make is building big pots, and firing second barrells that don't work.

It's hard to make hands in NL hold-em. The more flops you see, the more hands you make. Having more chips allows you to do this and more. It doesn't however give you a license to be reckless.
