Should Slow Rolls Be Penalized?

alabos · Apr 25, 2021

its a good question.......and its depend the situation but sometimes its very too long before people play

zorro222_zorro222 · Apr 25, 2021

no, because who determines whether its a slowroll or not, I don't like people that slowroll but I think penalizing it would be the wrong thing to do...

Goku55 · Apr 25, 2021

No because some might use it as a part of their game. I feel like any competent player would understand that some times it might not even be intentional.

Evidently there is nothing to complain about, since all times are equal to play. However, in fact it is very annoying to watch players holding the game at all times. We have to relax and respect. Just this!

you dont seem to know what a slowroll is

many here seem to not know . which i find shocking since we are in a poker forum lol

Hi

Hi Baldy86. I really don't understand the question, because slow playing is a big part of my game. You have to set all the traps you can. GL

SlowPlay and SlowRoll are different things. Look it up on google. Or here. Search 'Slowroll'.
Even in this thread plenty people explained what slowroll is.

I don't think it should be punishable. Sometimes, people wanna be jerks (especially at games) and there's nothing you could do about except to get over it.

a lot of times i'm just staring into the void not knowing its my turn to act. then after a few minutes people signal for me to act and i'm like "oh I didn't know it was my turn"

Yes same here :rofl:
Also i dont know how could slowroll be penalized, but if some player for example being rude in the chat - slowroll IS a good penalty for him

Nano5722 · Apr 27, 2021

No, it,s should not. Anyone can play as he wish. If someone uses his time bank, this is his choice. Of course, it,s not so comfortable to play against this players, just try not to play against them in the cash games.
And don,t forget, that some people can play lots of tables and they play slow just because they play lots of tables and tournaments and they need to have their time to think about the dicisions.

How about a donkey punch in the face? HEE HAW!!!

armoko · Apr 28, 2021

Slow play is one of the part of poker and it should stay as it is

Ceez0 · Apr 28, 2021

Slow playing & slow rolling are very different. Slow role is ahole stuff, but not common & usually done for a specific reason.

TulasMoreno · Apr 28, 2021

Yes, even more in online poker, in live poker they do are penalized.

Spot on! I personally hate playing against slow poker players, that said it allowed and within the rules, so its just for people like me to deal with it.

Nathan Williams · Apr 28, 2021

Na, it's an unfortunate part of the game and a really bad thing to do, but it shouldn't be penalized.

g3amb07 · Apr 28, 2021

No .. is great tactic for tournament

WickedFRoST · Apr 28, 2021

Yes, slow rolls are bad etiquette, and some may argue that baning is an adequate punishment.

But then again, where do you draw the line though? Do you only ban players in live tournaments, or online as well? If we start banning for slow-rolling, why not also ban trashtalkers at the table. And how about needling? Imagine a guy winning a huge pot and then making a sarcastic comment. This is also bad etiquette, but should he be banned for this? I don't think so.

Andymac37 · Apr 28, 2021

Just take a mental note and get them back or really over celebrate if u win a big pot from them or even better bust them . A slow roll online is diffrent coz sometimes u feel slow rolled but the player just has multiple tables open and could be in a tough spot on 1 of them so its harder to tell

antonis32123 · Apr 29, 2021

Slowroll sucks , completely disrespectful , but online it's very difficult to be sure whether it's a slowroll case or sth else .

I believe it has happened to everyone , to be focused in one table with a very difficult and important decision and not caring for the rest of the tables for some secs . That way a slowroll might happen , but also the time bank might empty and your hand go to the muck/fold even with AA , it has happened to me , not only once

I do not care what others think, especially if it is my opponents.

rapione98 · Apr 29, 2021

penalize for what? it does not go against the rules, it goes against fairplay ... there should be no penalty.

Well, not raising with the nuts at the river should be penalized also at Online Poker, but slow rolling na na na, nobody should be penalized for slow rolling. Let me put it this way, why should we penalize a slow roller? Give me one reason!!!

Ikado21 · Apr 29, 2021

Slowroll

I think slowrolling is part of building your handimage but obviously slowrolling the nuts is just a di*k move
