Good point - we cannot always assume someone is slowrolling, though if you noticed that they were abnormally slow with one specific play and then show the nuts, that's slowrolling.

Agreed.

I've actually never seen this clip of the commentators - I've seen the one where you see the players, but boy is this GOLD!!!  Donnacha is a legend of Irish Poker and never have I seen commentators rooting SO hard for a player.  It was good that he won the hand.

That one was absolutely hilarious, and Hellmuth of course tried to justify that he could have had Tens full, which based on the cannon's play, was possible because he played SO passively, but still, his justification was a bit of a stretch.

There's NO need to institute a rule against a slowroller - the game is fine as it is.  Infact, I had an instance where I was slowrolled, but it didn't bother me in the least, as I looked at it this way.

I was close to a pay jump in a tournament and I used my timebank to effectively go all-in with Ax, and got called by one player (I had 1 big blind left behind).  Flop was J55, and I used up my timebank before putting in my last big blind, and my opponent went into the tank and used up some of their timebank before calling with JJ.  I was streaming this game on Discord and the one person watching was furious about it.  But the way I looked at it, the player was actually doing me a FAVOR (ultimately it didn't work).  But if their slowrolling me resulted in me making it to the extra pay jump, it's a +EV play to be slowrolled.

If you want to slowroll me, go ahead, I couldn't care less, whatever makes you feel better.
