I don't mind if a person is on the bubble but thats when you see a lot of luckbox hands.

any strategy that is not cheating should be utilized at the appropriate time
If it gives me the best chance and I have weak cards, I will stall. I have moneyed twice that way.
Is this a question?because if I'm in a poker tourney and I can improve my bankroll I don't give dam what the rest of the table thinks.
totally agree
You have to do what you have to do!
i stall around the money/ft to let short stacks get blinded out/down its actually a really smart move some people get tilted because of it and ship they're stacks right to you or to another and the short stacks will have to be less picky on push hands :) also do it when blinds aree about to go up :)
very + ev in my books
I agree! You don't hear anyone complain when they work the clock in baseball, football, etc. With these long registration periods that carbon allows many short stacks can rebuy over and over without any sort of BR concern simply to gain an advantage. Why would I ever want any one person or even the entire field have the advantage or detract from my own opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
The obvious reason would be when you are short stacked and simply want to nearly double your ORI and survive. This is also another product of not only long registration periods but the fact that carbon is paying back almost a quarters of the entries. Any fool can camp for aces and kings and find at least one double up most of the time. I can easily make it to the money with 1 double up as it is now. This also diminishes final table payouts making it less rewarding to go deep in the field.
So yes, I am going to do whatever it takes to gain an advantage. In my opinion the excessive stalling we are seeing here is a product of illogical conditions.
