How annoying do you find a Slow Roll?

I have just had an ugly Slow Roll where the player tanked the full time bar, then calls my all-in. We were heads up at the end of a 5K Bounty Hunter Direct Sat. I have A,2 suited and the board comes A,K,7 so I jam and she then slow rolled before calling with A,K. She felt the need to type in the chat box that she had lost £170 today. What that has to do with Slow Rolling an opponent I don't know. I guess I feel slightly aggreived as I helped the person during the tournament. They were having problems with the bet buttons and were just going to wait and see if it cleared. I suggested they switch off the computer and switch it back on. Log back in, then the table will reload and everything should be fine. They did this and then promptly came back to beat me heads up and show such discourteous behaviour with the slow roll. Anyone have opinions on this?
Best wishes. Shaun the Villa fan in Bham

    Quite often slow rolling can be misunderstood, especially if a player is on many tables. I think sometimes too much of a big deal is made out of slowrolling online. Its ten times worse to do it in a live game imo, and ive only had limited live experience.

    I dont know what the big deal is, the lady said she lost £170 quid that day, perhaps her nerves are frayed and om making the call and she has to check her hand properly before commiting. Chill chillie.

    Think its disgraceful imo, went and played live cash last night, flop 89j. 500bb pot. One guy turned over t7 and said if u got tq then uve just got it. Other guy had tq and dint turn it over about 10seconds after river was dealt. Wasnt impressed

    Yeah but thats a live game, totally different ball game. And its also no doubt between two experienced poker players which makes it worse.

    Only things that tilts me more that slow rolling are players who don't understand a simple co-operation play situation and bet into dry ptos with nothing and Zen masters who never get tilted!

    Top 1.

    V surprised at the votes so far tbh. 

    Having said that I used to do it all the time on WH before I even knew what it was & that it was bad. I had 5 accounts too & didn't know it was wrong. 

    Poker sites should give players etiquette awareness tests when creating accounts! :S

    From OP sound more like a nit roll.

    Dont mind nit rolls, at least the thought process is internal to oppo rather than externalised @ you.

    I dont find TRUE slowrolls annoying, I find then truly stupid and utterly pointless.  Only idiots do it, as it serves no purpose (TRUE slowrolls mind).

    If I know someone is slowrolling people deliberately, then I don't care, it's them that look like an idiot.

    Never played live before, but online, there's no way of knowing whether the opponent deliberately slowrolled you, or whether they just had a bit of lag, a big hand on another table, or whatever, so unless they put "haha i slowrolled u lol!!!!!!!!!!11111" in the chat box, I wouldn't pay any attention to it.

    There's probably times where I've taken the whole time bar to make a snap call, just because there's something else going on on another table. It's unintentional almost all the time online when you get "slowrolled".

    Getting tilted by a slow roll online is redic IMO...

    There are many reasons for an on-line slow roll... It's only an extra 15 seconds ffs...

    What tilts me more is people complaining about being slow-rolled online!!!
