How do you react when someone slow rolls you?

[LiviuRo123]

It drives me crazy, but I try to stay calm and laugh it off. How do you handle it when someone slow rolls?

I really don't care. Sometimes it takes time for players to recognize whether they have the nuts or not. Especially true when they're drawing at one hand and backdoor another.

I know the feeling
I try not to take it personally. Some people do it just to enjoy the moment. If it happens often though, I just talk it out or laugh it off and move on.

In poker, your opponents will try to provoke you in any way they can, and this is where you are most vulnerable. It's about keeping your composure and not giving in to their provocations. This is what makes you a professional.

I do not get angry. It just happens.

Good morning,
to react to a slow roll calmly, don't show anger, as this is what the opponent wants. Instead, choose to either ignore it to make the player look foolish or use it as an opportunity to learn about your opponent's strategy, which can give you a tactical advantage. Slow rolling is poor etiquette but can be disarmed by remaining composed and unemotional, thereby negating the slow roller's goal of making you angry or "go on tilt".

You have to accept that everyone plays the game at a different pace. Sometimes the delay is intentional (like in the bubble), but this is also part of the game, so there's no need to get nervous about it, you just have to accept it and be done with it.

make a note and return the favor in the future!!

Nothing but it only paints a huge bull-eyes on their back. I pray they stick around long enough for me to bust them. I than pray they reload so I can do it again. Rinse and repeat till they're broke.

Cheers!!!

I don't care, everyone plays the way they want to🙂☕

It depends how much time bank the client offers - Id range from not annoyed to wondering why they are wasting their own timebank when they have the nuts!

 

[dannystanks]

I just laugh it off, I think it’s funny that someone will go out of their way to try and tilt me. I stay in control and never take anything personal at the poker table.

Sometimes it irritates me, but it's part of the game, it's a valid strategy, I just try to improve my perception of the game,

 

[pltelles]

This is a rule of the game, so it's part of it and can even be used against the opponent. I don't mind.

When someone slow rolls me, I try to stay calm and not let it get under my skin, even though it’s one of the most irritating things in poker. Slow rolling is poor etiquette, but reacting emotionally only affects your own focus and game. I usually just take a deep breath, maybe give a small smile, and move on to the next hand. Staying composed shows professionalism and keeps you mentally sharp — in the long run, emotional control wins more chips than anger ever will.

it's rude ... but loosing is worse. being a good sport and attentive player will always out perform the alternative

 

[monkeytilter]

Of all the many, many annoyances I have in the game this has never been one, it doesn't bother me at all, if anything it amuses me that a player would think it might needle me in anyway.

Poker is a long term game.... 😎👍

It is ignorant, unnecessary, pathetic and immature.

Poker players suck! Moves like this just reinforce it.

I'm prepared for it to happen because I'm well aware that many poker players are not mature individuals. And sadly some will be HUGE fk'n idiots.
I might flip out in the chat, (pretending to flip out), letting them think (and anyone on the table who is paying attention to it) I'm TILTED to the max. Then, when (or if) the situation warrants it, I'll go with a HUGE overbet (while sitting on a hand with lots of equity), making it look like I'm attempting to buy the pot or am just spewing off my stack... in hopes of getting looked up lighter. It actually works.

 

[VNagy333]

patience, perseverance, calmness

 

[MrPokerVerse]

Doesn't bother me. More interested the way the table response.

 

[Leandro6803]

Perhaps it's to distract the opponent, inducing them to make a mistake, but a good player should be prepared for all kinds of tilt and be able to control themselves.

 

[Risto234]

Slowroll them to death

 

[dreamer13]

I'm as calm as a boa constrictor, I don't care.But keep in mind that people can do a lot of other things while playing.So you can play on Zoom, and then it's hard to go back.

 

[bazza155]

Slow play is part of the game, I just find it a waste when they do it in Hand for Hand play.
