Playing a big stack adjustments

[TheCat]

What are your strategy adjustments when you and one or more opponents have a big stack?

What consitutes a big stack, how many times BB?

A big stack is generally regarded as greater than 100x to 120xBB. (I use 120x as my reference.) How to play deeper stacks differently than short stacks is a complex question. But a simple hypothetical question should get you moving in the right direction:

You're playing in a $5-10NL game. You are on the button with AA. You standard raised to $40 preflop, and are called by only the big blind. The flop comes down 56T rainbow. Opponent checks, you bet your standard continuation, say $60. Opponent moves all-in (given the numbers below, ignore how realistic this might be).

What do you do now if:
1. You have $300 left, and your opponent covers you.
2. You have $850 left, and your opponent covers you.
3. You have $1500 left, and your opponent covers you.
And as a twist:
4. Your opponent has $500 left, and you cover him.

Talk amongst yourselves.

Crap I totally botched the numbers. I was thinking in terms of 2/5. I edited them...
