Message: [QUOTE="skaniol, post: 6692672, member: 366061"] You seem to forget about the situation when a player is last to act, they hold the nuts or someting close, and they take a lot of time to call, like they are considering folding. Even when that player holds the winning hand, the call is not done automatically. If they call and their strong hand is exposed, such players can be accused of slow rolling. I don't like to jump to conclusions whenever I am on the receiving end of that situation: there could be many legitimate reasons why the player took a long time to act despite holding a strong hand. I was even accused of slow rolling a few times when I was considering folding near the bubble with a hand that was strong, but not the nuts. IMO, when the tournament survival is at stake, one is free to take all of their alloted time to make their decision, especially near the bubble. We aren't discussing slow playing in this thread, which is a different term. [/QUOTE]
