Re: Stalling in tourneys?
This is not necessarily so. What if you have 10k in the cutoff and some else (OP) has 15k UTG +1? If the blinds are going to jump from say 4k-8k to 6k-12k, then it gives you a strategic advantage if you can slow down the play so that OP gets hit with 6k-12k blinds rather than 4k-8k. OP may be able to fold out if the blinds pass him at the lower level. Stalling forces OP to get involved.
There is some merit to stalling in satellites. I don't like it when I am in OP's position, but I have used this strategy when it suits me.
