My question is,...'is it considered 'ok' on here to slowroll'? In today's tourney on UB, two players seeing the flop (I notice that they both are on pt. leaderboard... one I'm familiar with as I've seen them around a bunch, the other I've seen only once before (on here)). The shorter stacked player shoves onto a paired flop and the other player holding KK (flop was 5-5-K) decides to 'slowroll' them. Why? They sit there and let the timer run down and then hit call. I was sickened by the rudeness and immaturity of this. Is this kind of stuff typical around here.... cuz it really didn't seem to phase anyone but me. I just don't see the point of that crap at all.

Hopefully it's a rarity and not the norm (although I did have a player heckle me in the first game I played on here). Oh well... it's poker,... not always the healthiest of individuals on the tables. I suppose it's to be expected. Something about seeing someone get slowrolled though.... makes me kinda mad.

GL on the tables!
Maybe he was wasn't slowrolling and just trying to read the screen for any tells that you didn't have pocket 5's for quads to beat his boat - it's happened to me! I am so afraid to shove now it sometimes takes me the whole time plus my bank time to finally get the courage to shove it all in there no matter what I havee - especially with some ot the suckout artists here.........lol
