You would not be allowed to do this in a live tournament.

Who would stop you as you agonize over your decisions? Other players call the clock on you? So you get 1 minute for each decision? Seems to be just putting them on tilt....

Ok, you can flame me for this one: Would it not be to the advantage of a large chip leader to slow down the action so the blinds will put more pressure on the smaller stacks?

The floor would stop you if you routinely stalled and someone complained. They would put a clock on you immediately before every action, and if you kept stalling, they would give you a penalty.

Or you could receive a penalty for not conducting yourself as a lady or gentleman.
