Slowroll

Shocking Video!

This slow roller actually took out a camera and asked the player next to him to record this hand. Fortunately, the player he slow rolled was a friend of his, or his kneecaps may have been introduced to a baseball bat in the casino parking lot later.

Not everything that seems like a slow roll online is really a slow roll. Keep in mind that people can have slow internet connections or be playing multiple tables, creating a delay in their actions. At the same time, if someone lets his clock run down, then uses his time bank and lets that run down to a second before calling with the nuts, then it's ok to put a curse on his family.
