Here is the situation.

You bought in for $5000 in a given SCOOP event. You have been playing for several hours. The minimum cash is $12,500.

There are 20 people being paid, and 23 people still in the tourney; playing on 3 tables. There are 4 or 5 small stacks. This is a limit tourney and to play a hand to the river will basically put you all in....

Would you ....

A) Play at normal speed and let the chips fall as they may....

B) Take extra time using the allotted time bank when making decisions at this crucial stage of the tourney

The answer to me seems obvious although maybe I'm way off base here ....

Where's the option for, "I need reassurance my stalling in the SCOOP was kosher"

They give you a 500 second time bank to use at any time during the tourney; are there rules regarding its use?

stalling is busch league imo

weird but I voted then got directed to this thread

so true

me too.

When does the tourney start going hand for hand? do the blinds increase soon?

the poll is pretty stupid if you're not also assuming a hypothetical bankroll that's actually sufficient for the event, btw.

I was wondering why it was taking you so long to make a decision. I figured you were just starting another great thread.

Allen, posting this in NVG is just asking to get trolled/flamed, most people are just giving you a hard time because it's you. There was a similar thread in MTTc, but it sort of went a bit O/T.

It's not unethical or anything, but its terrible etiquette. Similar to many angleshoots.

It definitely makes you a huge douchebag.

But he is a huge douchebag already, so why not?

C.) If it is hand for hand, stalling really doesn't matter and you're too stupid to realize it

"There's no rule against it" is a terrible argument for doing something. What about the fact that you ruin the fun for the rest of the players excited about playing poker deep in a tournament?

You said in the other thread you don't stall in a live tourney. Is there a rule against doing it? Why don't you?
