Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6691777, member: 397965"] I think, a lot depends on the setting. In televised or streamed poker like the Deep vs. Matusow hand slowrolling contribute to the entertainment, and players should be able to handle that as well as general table talk. Among people, who know each other, like for instance a home game, it can also contribute to a fun atmosphere, if everyone are ok with it. But among strangers in a public cash game or tournaments its bad style, and generally nothing good will come from it. But with that being said there is also a lot of hysteria around slowrolling. Some people think, they are being slowrolled, whenever the opponent takes a bit of time to call with a better hand, even when its not the nuts. And ultimately it dont affect the outcome of the hand. So mostly people should just get over it instead of going on a tirade like "OMG someone slowrolled me, this is the worst thing ever", as for instance Matusow did in that hand. [/QUOTE]
