You may want to try not playing for your whole stack against larger ones that can put you out - a form of pot control.  However, if you're truly busting in situations where you're well ahead, then it's not a concern since you want to play for your stack at those times.

thats poker! ask yourself,was it really a badbeat or could you have played it differently.In the tournaments i have won,I have sometimes had to lay down what i thought was probably the winning hand.thats where getting to know people at your table helps.If some guy raises alot or always bets like he hit,those are the ones i take more chances against.If a "rock" re-raises,FOLD unless you have a hand that cant be beaten by anything else.better to live to fight another hand.late in a tournament you will have to take more chances if your chip stack is below average,otherwise antes will eat you up.
its not the size of the dog in the fight,its the size of the fight in the dog
