Default What\'s the best part of your game?

We talk often about how we all believe we are superior bubble players than the rest of the universe, but this time I wanted to ask a different question.

Relative to the (average of the) rest of the field you play against, what stack size do you think you play the best? So, if you feel that you outplay the field with all stack sizes, which one do you outplay them with by the most? To clear up any other inclarity, an example:

When you answer "large" for instance, it means that in a situation like this:

YOU LARGE STACK v.
various opponents

you believe you perform the most better of other such situations than a random opponent A in the situation:

OPPONENT A LARGE STACK v.
various opponents.

I'm most comfortable with very small to average. I think I am too conservative (or content) with a big stack.

Almost all bad players and not all good players understand pot odds and starting hand rankings well enough to play the very short stack.

Clearly very large, its not even close. I just basically destroy the table until some idiot decides to take a 60-40 in a very unwise spot. ( I steal enough blinds before that call screws me)
edit: Im not sure I get the question, I only answered very big stack cause nobody knows how to use it on the 11s.

the larger the better for me, although I do have a tendency to get spite called often because I play so aggressive.

Thats also a problem for me. With my betting I am basically saying "You do realize you have to fold everything but AA-QQ, right?" and with their calling they are saying "Screw you, dork".

I hate that, really. I always tell myself that they're making a mistake by calling...and even though they hurt themselves, they end up jacking my equity and giving it to the other players. I'm gonna start calling spite calls kamikaze calls, cause they're effectively sacrificing themselves to take you down.

Granted, the following doesn't speak too much toward 'skill' regarding the 'best part of your game', but from a strategy stand-point...

A little less than average suits me just fine mid-tourney (tighter than most early). Undoubtedly, as the table begins to thin and the blinds approach L4/5, I'll have no problem finding a caller that has completely under estimated my patience/pushing requirements. Most every occurrence I'll take a dominating hands (w/ all my chips) to the board. Pushing my way ITM w/ my new found FE. If/when the occasion fails to arise, we're usually 5-seated'ish - having pretty good reads on the gang to allow me to steal a few. A pretty pacifist strategy it is, but I find MUCH less of that "V" word in my game....pretty flat-lined stats.

Ps. Stars 1500 turbos.

Very small.

It is easy to play it well.

Average player just gives up.
