slowrolling

robertod

last night a TPT player (who I won't name) decided it would be hilarious if on a board of 2 A K 5 2 would slowroll my kings full with rivered quads. When the rest of the table had a go at him after I busted he said " my chipstack tells a story". What gets my goat is that nothing seems to get done about these blatant A holes. Since I'm still seething, is slowrolling an all-in player ever acceptable? There is no chat history by the way...

Unethical yes, but not against any rules.

He made himself look a fool. Not you, or anybody else.

I'd have laughed it off immediately with zero steaming. Don't let other peoples silly mind games get to you. Life is too short. Rise above it and move onto the next game.

Agree with GaryQQQ, best to laugh it off.

It could be a total accident. I once rivered a straight flush then dropped my lap top in excitement when my opponent shoved and only managed to call with a couple of seconds left. Another time I rivered quads but due to a big hand on another table didn't notice until so late that I ended up checking behind.

Sky can programme a poisonous nerve gas to seep through their keyboards and render them incapable of playing for a few weeks.

Slowrolling lacks class (esp if they own it in chat) but Sky (or any site) could never prove it was a slowroll and not just a slow reaction due to other distractions / too many tables (ergo no punishment). I guess this is the big anti- for timebanks... at least a 15 second max wait isn't too painful compared to when people (on other sites) let their extra 30 seconds wind right down as well before calling with the nuts.

Happens every time I go to the casino - I've learnt to laugh it off. I just do it straight back to the player in question!

Had a funny one few months back, having lost a big pot few hands previous found my self short stacked with pocket 2's UTG, my shove got round to the BB who let timer run down to very last second before calling with AA, they flopped a set but board ran out runner runner staright for my ducks, instant poker karma?

If you wasn't stood behind him watching the action unfold, it wasn't a sloroll is the general rule on here.

slow rolling is terrible  poker etiquette but who knows maybe karma will bite him like it did acegooner who having admittedly slow rolled me when he had trip kings in a cash game got his comeuppance when 30 mins latter he terribly over shoved when a third heart hit the river i knew he had the ace flush just unlucky for him i had a straight flush needless to say i was not quick to call lol

Thanks for this thread-I haven't slowrolled anyone in ages, and it is great fun. Thanks for reminding me!

Seriously, people play however they want to-anyone getting mad at this is tilting money away, though can see the point of getting even...obviously, slowrolling acegooner is almost compulsory.
