Default Re: Does stalling late in tournies actually do anything for ya?

This should never be done. As a 2+2er you are required to play for 1st place in MTTs and therefor should be playing like a maniac around the bubble period when other players will tighten up to make 15.98 from their 10+1$ buy-in.

I do it sometimes in a turbo rebuy supersatellite on Stars when the blinds are huge, partly as a result of previous stalling. The blinds have me covered and I know I will advance if enough people at other tables bust out before the blinds hit me. Then I will stall.

In general I follow the 2+2 strategy above and play for 1st in MTTs, playing like a maniac against tight bubble players.
