Message: [QUOTE="mellow123, post: 6035680, member: 83271"] If you’re asking if they should change the rules to penalize for slow rolls, my opinion is no, for a couple of reasons. 1. Many mistake players thinking they are slow rolling ( taking their sweet time to call when they know they’ve won) with people who are genuinely thinking their opponent might have a ( albeit small) chance the 1 or 2 outs to beat them, even if the previous action would seem to make that impossible. 2. That would be hard to even enforce. How would you set the criteria to penalize a slow roll? Certain number of seconds? Only if the accused slow-roller had the nuts? Only if opponent challenges by proclaiming slow-roll? 3. Anyone who slow-rolls, or even is perceived to slow roll, just once, usually receives a pretty good verbal lashing from one of more players, and that’s enough to curtail or minimize the activity, without any need to enforce it with a penalty [/QUOTE]
