Ripping on Bubble stallers

[banditbdl]

Now when I play cash games or even tournaments, I wouldn't dream of verbally abusing the poor players in the game. Bubble stallers in MTTS on the other hand are another story...

The stalling is just such a pet peeve of mind I can't help but just start flinging crap at the stallers in the chatbox once it becomes clear they are going to be stalling each and every hand. Any problems with this mental weakness of mind from an EV point of few I should know about, or should I continue to chitter-chatter away.

Stallers are sub-human retards. Fire at will

I broke my mouse today out of anger in the same situation.

I just make a note of it and steal their blinds.

I can't see how berating stallers advances your cause or helps you to improve your EV in the tournament, most of the time I think it is just a distraction to your game to care about things you can not control.

It's aggravating, but keep in mind, with all the new players today, many of them may be trying to make the money for the first time. Just making the money is a huge accomplishment for them. I don't think going off on them in the chat box is appropriate; although stealing their blinds is a good idea, [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I hate it too.

My absolute favorite though is seeing someone stall while playing hand for hand. I've actually had this at my table a couple of times (20$ tourneys)

stalling near the bubble is a moronic angle play by amateurs...

stalling on the bubble in a HAND for HAND situation is a sigh of a complete [censored] moron - absolutely no brain cells whatsoever -

Two guys at an empire $25 MTT were doing this yesterday. One had the 2nd biggest stack at the table, and other was average stacked. I will play there again.

It's a part of tournament poker, especially online...berating probably won't change anything. As far as EV, I think it'll only hurt if your below average stack where your forced to playing all-in poker after the bubble.
