The 'correct' way of playing the big stack depends largely on how your opponents are playing the smaller stacks. In most cases, the small stacks will be playing conservatively, waiting for a big hand, and thus you should be playing somewhat loose-aggressively although you need to watch out for some things:
 
- Any other big stacks who are bullying the table. It may be that the other big stacks aggression will wilt a little upon confrontation with a bigger stack (you), but you need to be wary of whether this is the case, and also generally play cautiously against someone who can cripple you.
 
- Any very small stacks who will be looking to push any half-decent hand in an attempt to double up. It's not so much that you're putting many chips in danger when playing a hand with them, it's more of a table image thing - if you raise with K3o and a very small stack acting after you calls, (a) you're almost certainly behind, and (b) everyone at the table is gonna see that you raised with K3o, and if they're paying any attention then they'll notice your raising range is loose, and you will invariably have to tighten up or risk being played back at.
