Encouraging your table to stall in a tourney (long....as usual)

[grinin]

Wow that sucks Bob.

I agree with the previous poster that it is Party's fault for not going hand for hand. This is what precipitated the problem.

I also think anyone telling others how to play was violating the rules.

However, lets get on the slippery slope and think about if he had simply stated in chat: "you know we have 7 players at our table and the other table has 6 and its not hand for hand, I wonder, if we were to stall every hand wouldn't it make it more likely that all 7 of us would win" and then take his full clock every time play came to him and show every hand that he simply checks down instead of mucking like QQ, KK, AA, straights, flushes, sets, etc. (as long as he isn't last to act on the river with the nuts) Would that be considered cheating?

What if he simply says "I think I'm going to take my time, wink, wink, hint, hint" and showsdown all his hands? .... What if he leaves out the wink, wink, hint, hint? He is no longer telling others how to play.
