Was this a slow roll?

Hi all - please see the below hand where one of the players strongly accused me of slow rolling and basically said it was 'Disgusting'. We kissed and made up later but the discussion kept on. As you will see I had AA in the big blind, the button on a short stack raised and the small blind raised all - in. I let the timer go right to the end before calling. The original raiser folded.

My argument was that I was trying to draw the small stack in, her believing I wasn't that strong. If the original raiser was stacked up then I would have gone all - in quickly to try and isolate. The argument against was that the short stack was so short that they were going to call no matter what but I don't accept that as they still had plenty of play.

Now I've always been polite and tried to play a fair game so I was upset to be accused of this. If I'm wrong let me know but I did it for a reason not for a laugh.

Cheers

Steve

    The shortstack should call anyway, for the price, and they were the original raiser. But they COULD fold.

    Therefore, Its defo NOT a slowroll because of the shortstack in the pot,  but i dont get the point of waiting, just call as quick as you normally would imo. I dont think you are more likely to get a caller if you let the timer bar go down. jmo.

    Still someone to act behind NOT a slowroll as you are trying to draw them in.

    as above not a slowroll but i dont think it matters how quick you call, as long as you dont snap immediately then if they're going to call they will call

    Not a slow roll like the other have said. I can't see how people are implying the "Shortie" should be going all in? He has over 1200 chips with the blinds 30/60 ... since when is putting in 2 of your 22 BB's commited?
