What are the ethics on timebanking obviously to stall? - MTT Poker Strategy

I'm at a table in SCOOP event 4 medium $162 turbo and the timebanks are six minutes. There are 250 ppl left and we're in the money but ppl are timing down the whole way. We have actually missed entire level considering the time banks longer than the levels. Thoughts?

its slightly unorthodox to have timebanks that last an entire blind level though... i was immensely annoyed (at stars) in the scoop because of this... dont think there are ethics about it...

i'm kinda sick of ethics talk. the site sets up rules for a reason and they should be the guidelines we follow.

it is unethical, but it is not against any rules, and it can be part of the overall strategy, one may or may not agree with it, but there is nothing do to...

I think you are confusing ethics with etiquette.

Mr. Wizayne, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having read it.

Fitting that I'd be eating a snack pack while reading this thread.

Yup. If it's worth enough value then I even do it myself on occasion. Seems silly to blame people for stalling or even to consider it poor etiquette when they're gaining so much value by doing it. Blame Stars instead.

I generally agree that I don't care what people do, but when they time bank during h4h it pretty much tilts the **** out of me.

I agree 95% of the time... The exception being to delay til the next blind level so the UTG short stack gets put all in with the higher blinds...

I would never stall though I'm sure there's a select few spots where it's correct.

Everyone gets their own timebank though and I dont really care how they use it. I just hope Im running good enough that day to be still playing enough tables where I dont notice or mind it
