Re: Encouraging your table to stall in a tourney (long....as usual)
checking it down is different than openly telling your opponent "hey...you know we are supposed to check it down here, right?"
As for the situation you are describing....if I thought I could milk the other stack along for a few extra BB's while I was holding a monster then there's no way I would just check it down.
Obviously I'm going to take advantage of any opportunity to get to the river if I don't think my hand is very good....but when I get to the point where I feel my hand is 'good' (meaning, extremely likely to take out the short-stack anyway) then I'm just trying to win chips from the other guy.
