When having some big hands, what is the best option to do?
Just check and call and slow play it and hope weaker hands doesn't hit? This can pull some more players to play and get max chisp
or
Riase 4x or more the BB , and get your hand to play vs other good hands and keep to lower hands out?

It depends on many factors. It depends on the tournament's photomat, its stage, the number of players at the table, the size of the stack, and your position. If you're looking for the only and most correct scenario, you have to take all these factors into account.

leave the border as well as the board which can change quickly but you can be indifferent on the following streets in those moments when I play nicely and give more pleasure from this multipot.

In NL holdem we have the greatest equity advantage HU. We are able to stay in control of the hand post flop more often and many more benefits. If you have AA KK QQ always try to get HU when first learning to play
