Default Re: Simon Trumper\'s reply on ESPN

I think it's a huge leap to go from this play to claiming that chip leaders will stall with every decision. If people were going to do that, why aren't they doing it already? A question I posed to Paul P. elsewhere: if you try to steal the blinds with garbage, do you instamuck if you get repopped, or do you take a few seconds? I hope it's not the latter, otherwise the guardians of the unwritten code are going to ride off on your woman and rape your horse. Also, don't you think there's a pretty substantial difference between stalling for stalling's sake and taking time on a particular hand to extract extra chips on that hand?

You also didn't answer my question. Somebody making a tough decision costs you according to your insightful "time is $" formula. How does somebody doing this with the nuts hinder your ability to play more than somebody doing it with a real decision?
