sorry about the double post, but there are other reasons for long pauses. In 2 or 3 table tournament play where the blind is based on time, I'll sometimes use clock time to make the blind increase before it gets to the small stack, or to buy myself time if there's just 1 player left at my short table before it's going to combine and fill up again. Also I'll play very quickly when I want the blind to get to me faster - Before in increases. It's a small thing, but sometimes it'll save me 75 chips (posting 100/50 blinds instead of 150/75 for instance). Or a bigger blind will push a small stack to go ai with any 2.
Most players hate this type of "slow playing", but they didn't pay my entry fee, so screw them. I find value in it in certain conditions.
