Re: Does stalling late in tournies actually do anything for ya?
Don't do it, bad form.
Besides I've seen super short stacks stall every hand for an orbit, only to have the blinds double just as they become the BB, at which point half their stack or more gets posted. If they had not been stalling, they would have seen more hands at the cheaper level, then missed the increase in blinds, giving them 8 more hands to play for free. Sucks for them.
And obviously, you don't even want to be in a position where stalling might help you, because it means that you are probably MORE likely to bust out from NOT playing any hands.
If you have 3x or more, you should be pushing a lot anyway, because the bubble period is the BEST opportunity to steal blinds in the whole tournament.
