Re: Slowrolling online
why wouldn't it put someone on tilt?
you are easily going to spark something, at LEAST get them pissed off at you. more emotion = worse play |

Re: Slowrolling online
actually in a live game there would be times where I'd do it. all i can think of right now though applies to tournaments. first of all it has to be someone u know will not pull a 12 gauge on you in the parking lot. say... phil hellmuth. example: i'm annie duke headsup with phil in the tournament of champions. he has me out chipped 2:1. phil completes in the SB, i have 88 in the BB and check. flop comes 88A, phil goes all-in. i take a really long time to think about this, 5 minutes at least. finally i call, and ask him what you got, and he flips AA. i scream YOU COMPLETED WITH THAT? then after a minute of small tirade flip over my quads. i'd take down the pot and probably the rest of the tournament as there is no way in hell phil would not be tilted

You know, raping someone's wife might put them on tilt too...why not do that. |

Re: Slowrolling online
Horrible analogy. That's doing something TO that person. Beyond losing the hand and being pissed off, slowrolling doesn't harm the other person.
What I told Pop on IRC was that I think overall it's a -EV move, but that if you find a situation where you think there's postive EV, go for it. |

[/ QUOTE ] It's an imperfect analogy yes but my point isn't to equte the two acts. The point is just because something isn't illegal in the game doesn't make it right. Play solid poker, don't resort to stupid tricks and angles to win. I've been slowrolled many times in live games and each time I've let the person know that if it happens again I will be following them to the parking lot. It's one of my least favorite moves, shows a complete lack of class and anyone who does it a complete scumbag. Just my opinion. |
