I dont think that big stack have any advantage in pot limit (I think opposite is true

Well, I have to strongly disagree there since I've seen the damage super-big stacks can do.

It's no big deal if you are playing shortstacked (around 50bb), and don't mind losing it all, but say you are playing a normal-sized stack like the OP. A bet which is 50% of your stack may only be 3% of the super-big stack. That is a huge psychological advantage.

Only if you or other players allow yourselves to be intimidated by it and play even more weak-tight.

It shouldnt be if you are playign within your bankroll and have even bigger stack in your account ready to realod.
Seriously if bigger stack has psychological edge over you its your problem. I think that smaller stack should have advantage cause its only xx to call and bigger stack must worry about other big stacks at the table and cant "just go allin"

Yeah CHUFTY was on a tear yesterday. Between stars and party I think he had about 60K in play at one point (I was bored multi-tabling NL and sweated some of the big omaha games for a while).

I think you should fold the river barring some kind of read. Does he like to push you around? Have you been folding lots of rivers? Do you raise the turn with draws a lot? etc. Also, CHUFTY, in my limited experience and from sweating, would not smooth call the turn very often with the same straight. I think this is either a bluff or you are screwed. That's why playing with these guys has can turn into an expensive ass game of rock, scissors paper.
