I HAVE NEVER PLAYED A PROPER LIVE GAME OF POKER BEFORE BUT WATCH IT ON THE TELLY ALL THE TIME, WHY DO PLAYERS GET UPSET WHEN SOMEBODY SLOW ROLLS THEM??? IS IT BAD MANNERS OR SOMETHING???

Define for me what your believe a slow roll is first please
FWIW before the guy answers a true slowroll is utterly the worst thing etiquette wise you can do in poker. If a player doesnt realise why that is then they need a reality check
I put up a post in the clinic asking whether a particular hand was a slowroll a few days ago, simply because I was accused of it. People can differ on what they believe is a slowroll (normally depending on where they are sat), so OP'sters definition would be useful.
My definition of a slowroll would be where the only action remaining is to call or fold and you dawdle and delay when you know you're winning... well this can't be the case unless you have the absolute nuts so a better way of saying it may be when you have no intention of folding. As people mentioned above I think it's the worst ettiquette in a game of live poker as it serves no purpose other than to annoy the opposition
This is a slow roll
Cant remeber the specific EPT event but anyone see Liv Boree get slowrolled vs AA, as opponent waited about 5minutes for camera to come over?.
Slowrolling is pointless rude and un-neccessary. If you need time to think thats all well and good, but otherwise its super bad form.
We did have a debate recently about whether Hellmuth was slowrolling on the Channel 5 cash game, when the flop was 9910 and he had A9, but he did say he genuinely considered the fact he could be behind, and I'd say it's best to just take his word for it.
If the new stupid "Jamie Gold" rule can be introduced then we need to see a rule introduced to prevent this.
Disgraceful.
Re Liv Boree incident.
Yes, I watched that, but I seem to remember that the Guy wasn`t English. So he probably didn`t know any better.
