 i just had a hand wiith some1 heads up 

 i had top pair by the river but any ten gave a straight  they bet 600 i went all in for 640 thinking they was bluffin 

 they timed all the way down then called at the last second with a 10

 what is the point in doing this to me its just stupid and shows no respect to your opponant

 this has happend lots today when they have the nuts why do it

    This is called slowrolling. It is considered the worst possible thing you can do in poker regarding etiquette.

    To be fair, some players are multi tabling, i do it myself and it can appear sometimes that im taking the pee with the timer, but i aint, then again sometimes players will do this deliberately, i know its frowned upon, but personally it doesn't bother me at all if its done to me, i just put it all into perspective, its only fifteen seconds wasted in my life!

    Na, i would say playing out of turn is worse, and discussing the hand before its conclusion when you have folded is worse, especially if you tell people what you have folded - thats the worst IMO.

     surely playing out of turn can be a honest mistake alot of the time tho? i agree saying what you have folded is just as bad though!

    What you describe are against the rules. There is a difference between poor etiquette and breaking the rules.

    Ok, i agree with ya there, so i will go for.... What about putting a snotter on the cards?? is that worse etiquette? or would i then get a punch on the nose for it? and would that be cheating?

    That could be considered as card marking, which is against the casino rules and is most certainly cheating.
