Have you ever slow rolled someone?

Izissant · Oct 23, 2015

Live or Online?

I never did live but online i have. One guy was mouthing me off for whatever reason I cannot remember, twas like 2 years ago. We were playing 1/2 blinds and i had nut flush and he went all in on river for 20-50 dollars. I waited the whole time ... called the clock ... asked him what he had ect. Right last couple seconds I called and had the ultimate NUTS and won. Needless to say he immediately left the room.

Online few times maybe playing HU SNGS against some maniac disrespectful players. Live never did that. Its actually hurts when you in other shoes and you bluffing and he slowrolls you takes whole time bank to call..

I would not slow roll anyone. And one power failure or internet failure with no disconnect protection would be what karma would have in store for me if I did I am sure.

Maybe when you playing tourney and up against a bully with a monster stack.

KLDUFF1987 · Oct 23, 2015

Yes once or twice at a llive league when I flopped the Royal Flush which the guy showed a flush too and also when I had turned quads

both occasions were well done

I have many times, and plan to do the same in the future. I really like to slow roll if I hit my hand after the flop and get max value out of it. I think the best players to slow roll on are the ones that will call you all the way down with one small pair and think they have you beat. GL to all

I think the term "slowroll" refers to someone who has the absolute nuts and takes an inordinate amount of time to call a large bet on the river, rather than someone who hits the flop hard and then slows down to appear weak. The former is just outright rude and uncalled for, while the latter - baiting an opponent by slowing down on each street to appear indecisive - is part of the game.

No. I don't like to see when somebody make a slowroll and I don't do it by myself. It's bad! Poker must be fast as it possible.

Latamgrinder · Oct 24, 2015

Only to "big mouth" type of guys, find it to be a very effective way to shut them up.

fletchdad · Oct 25, 2015

I have so far not slow rolled. I have been slow rolled and it was invariably from assholes. I guess if some one is being a jerk, but just play good, and let the assholes be assholes. No need to mimic their style.....

GODZZ · Oct 25, 2015

Yes , yes I have lol. Only in the rare instance when you can successfully trap an All in monkey or a rude player.Good/L

Poker Orifice · Oct 25, 2015

Only a few times online where the person has been seriously rude/abusive to others at the table.

Bazslazs93 · Oct 25, 2015

slow roll can be very funny againts a moron player or can be painful againts normal player. you can choose

! i like both

84ofspadesallin · Oct 27, 2015

The only time I would even think to do so would be if someone slowrolled me or something. SO its hard to answer, probably a couple times or zero, leaning towards a couple of times though.

You're confusing "slowroll" with "slowplay".

Slowroll = you are closing the action, the other player is all-in, you have the nuts, but rather than instantly calling the bet, you take your time and pretend you have a tough decision to make. This is considered disrespectful.

Slowplay = you have a strong hand and you are trying to extract value from your opponents. You pretend you have a weak hand to encourage your opponents to bet into you and/or call your bets. There is nothing disrespectful about this. It's a common strategy and is completely fair.

As for me, I have never slow rolled in live poker, but I have slow rolled players online multiple times. I won't just slow roll anyone, though. I won't slow roll players who are polite and respectful, nor will I do it when my internet connection is bad and I risk disconnecting at the last minute. I only do it to players who deserve it.

Davidjohnedge · Oct 27, 2015

Anyone dare slowroll me I just give them the middle finger and go on my way.

Zorba · Oct 27, 2015

I don't know the answer to that question, you'd have to ask CC'er kcanuck.

Nice) ) I liked your answer))

blobman · Oct 27, 2015

It's worth noting a certain example where people often accuse a player of slowrolling when actually that player is making a legitimate poker move.

Example: 3 players in a hand on the river. The first player to act goes all-in. The second player to act has the absolute nuts. You would think that if the player with the nuts doesn't call quickly, then he's slowrolling. But this is not so, because the player with the nuts isn't last to act. Therefore, that player's snap calling with the nuts may scare the third player yet to act from calling as well. It would behoove the player with the nuts to hem and haw about calling or at least not rush into calling in order to increase the likelihood that the third player calls. Anyone who accuses this player of slow rolling doesn't know poker.

arborest · Oct 27, 2015

I once slow rolled with AA just for fun and lost my internet connection and thats it. lol

adenosine · Oct 27, 2015

If someone slow rolls me they gain the note "always slow roll them" and so forever more they shall be slow rolled

milka1605 · Oct 27, 2015

I use both. And I do not see anything wrong. Play poker boring when you play a lot of time every day. It is necessary though somehow diversify the game, especially if this can go to my favor.
