definition of slow-rolling?

In Response to Re: definition of slow-rolling?:

In the case I cited, when OyNutter had AK, there was no "psychological advantage" to be gained, nor "wind-up" Value, because.....  The Player with A-A outchipped the Player with A-K, & thus it was exit time for A-K man. I fail to see why one would wish to wind up a player who's just been bust, or gain psychological advantage over a player who is no longer in the game. To deliberately humiliate a Busted Player can only be the act of someone who has issues. It's traitional in all games, even the most physically brutal, such as Boxing or Rugby Union, to shake hands & say "welll done, enjoyed that" once it's over. In poker, tradition is usually "gg," or somesuch.   In the case quoted, the Slow-Roller qained no psychological advantage at all - quite the opposite. He lost the respect of his fellow Players.

This.

Bottom line is if you wish to lose friends and gain enemy's at a poker table then slowroll away.

Also the phychological line taken my some is nonsense also as slowrolling is likely to lead to a quicker demise as people will be irrate therefore more likely to gun for you.

Sit quietly,chat nicely,make friends and win money SIMPLES.

Hi,

I was the victim of a suspected slowroll last night in the 22 deepie. Someone spent a lifetime calling with the nuts on the turn! There was no explanation or apology, and there was also other general chat that wasnt pleasent from this player. However, i think i managed to patch things up and move on, and i hope that this player joins us again in the 22 deepie and learns from this experience. I have every faith they will cos we were having a good chat at the end.

Greg.

i completely fail to see how slowrolling a player in this or almost any situation can help to gain any kind of advantage-- psychcological or otherwise---in the case where tikay was slowrolled (a few days ago)-- the offender was busy writing "ul-lol" in the chat box!!--and that was his excuse for the slow call?
imo there can be no advantage gained by announcing to the whole table that you are stupid enough to think this kind of play is funny!!
