how effective is using stalling tactics when on turbo games? When i'm chip leader with 5-6 players left... i stall until i get the 30 second warning then i make my decision. It kills 10 seconds off the time the next time the blinds go up. does anybody have a take on this strategy?

Why would you stall if your chip leader?

Probably not a bad idea. Puts people on tilt too.

I STALL SO THE BLINDS GO UP FASTER. IT FORCES THE SHORT STACKS TO MAKE MOVES.

Stalling is only +EV if you're not a winning player.

If you're winning, then you're better than them and want more hands to take advantage of this

I'm with Dmmikkel on this one. Stalling is awful if you are better than the other players. When you play, you want to maximize your $EV/hr, so by making each tourney take longer you are killing yourself. Whether or not this would increase your ROI, I don't know.
