Even though I've never been a bully in real life, there are times when it really pays to be a bully at the poker table. In sit and gos, I've found the perfect spot for bullying. It's when you've made it to three handed play, have a substantially larger chip stack than both of your opponents, and their stacks are roughly comparable in size. You can put a lot of pressure on both of them at the same time by betting aggressively almost every hand; unless one of them has a really premium holding, you'll force both of them to fold. Since your stack is bigger, you can afford to bet more marginal holdings than they can. It's actually almost as important that their stack sizes are about the same as it is that yours is outsized; the reason is that they're essentially playing for second place money, and can't bully one another in this scenario.
