Silver Level
Was playing in a tourney on Friday night and toward final table one player at my table had a massive chip lead. Blinds were $500/$1000. Others at the table had average stack of about $6k, he had about $60k.
Once he built his stack to this level, he started slowing down dramatically. Blinds were increasing every 25 mins, so on each hand he would take ages to look at his cards, ages to make a decision, ages to fold. When it was his turn to deal, he shuffled for about 2 mins and then dealt the slowest 14 cards in history.
Was this smart play by him? Would others in CC take this approach?
He would have chewed through an additional 10 minutes of a 25 min blind level by playing slowly.
Interested to read others responses.
