    Stalling to get in the money is common and I'm used to it. Stalling once your in the money in a $10 rebuy so that you can move up another $6.56 is frustrating.

    That is all.

    Stalling ITM is only okay if the pay jump is $10 or more. OBV.

    Stalling = loosers

    I know stalling is a part of the game, but unless you are in a Turbo satellite only loosers stall.

    the problem for short stacks who do make full use of the time available for them to make a decision is that they are at a big disadvantage versus the other short stacks who do use the maximum time available

    who are you to judge how a person makes it the money??when 500 people are playing on 50 tables and you need 2 people out to make a couple bucks and your number one goal is money that why is it wrong to use a stratagy(like stalling)to get there??

    I do not think any one said it was wrong, in fact I said it was part of the game.

    What I did say though was stallers = loosers, and I stand by that.
