I belive stalling actually is against rules on some sites, if I am not mistaken? I recently saw a video made by a grinder, and he said that he was gonna use a little of his timebank, but not alot, cus that was against the rules (pokerstars) .. am I misinformed, or is this the case?
I hate when players stall on the bubble. To me I think it's a useless tactic. Some of the shorter stacks that you are hoping to outlast are almost inevitably going to end up doubling up and leap frogging you on the leader board. Meanwhile the blinds are continuing to go up, diminishing the value of your stack, making it more likely that when you do sack up and play a hand that you will get called by a bigger stack, probably holding a weaker hand, that will end up sucking out on you. Short stack or big, on the bubble, in the middle of the tourney or at the final table, I always want to see as many hands as possible before the blinds increase to the point where I'm forced to have to play any hand I want to play for all of my chips.
I feel you are entitled to use the time you are allowed any way you wish. I stall on occasion for many different reasons including trying to regain composure after a really bad beat. The whole point in playing competitive poker is to get paid so if you need to stall a little I have no problem with it.Ill admit I have do it sometimes when i really need to cash but what do you guys think? Does it make you a jerk when you are stalling your hands? What about when when they are using every last second in their time bank for every single turn?
