There are several kinds of bullies:

- Bullies who carefully pick their victims while being aggressive
- Bullies who are just throwing chips around just hoping to push people out and pick up pots
- People who are somewhere in-between.
 
The hardest bully to deal with is the one that picks on weaker opponents and doesn't steal quite as often as a maniac.  Against these types of players you really have to have some sense of if they are on a steal or if they have a legitmate hand.  Push back in situations where you are almost certain they are on a steal or you have a better hand than they do (i.e. midrange pocket pair AT-AK).
 
The easiest bully to deal with is the maniac...you want to take a flop against these type of bullies and check-raise them (all-in) if they bet out on a flop that you get a piece of.  This "big stacks" usually aren't around deep in tournaments because they bust on dumb moves.
 
 
 
Since we are speaking of bullies, I will say that the best player to be, especially late in a tourney (in the money or on the bubble) is to be a semi-aggressive bully.  You HAVE to steal blinds late in tournaments to have any kind of major success...
