Remember, this was a 35BB pot.

Does this really matter?

If I wasn't in the hand, I might've called to see all hands if they took that long.

I agree, get the friggin' hand over with. But you don't have to accuse anyone of anything. Especially if they haven't shown a history of it, nor the intent to actually slowroll. I'd give the bene of the doubt he wasn't doing it just to make you look bad. Many new players/casuals will get cautious at showdown on a big pot. Sometimes they need a little prodding along.

I think part of this being pissed is because you ended up losing the pot. I mean, would you really ask this if it happened to someone else that I"m sure it was done at some other point this table...

Did he wait 15-20 seconds AFTER everyone else had folded, or did it just take 15-20 seconds for everyone to fold around to him? In the first case it's a slow roll, in the second, he has the right to wait for everyone else to fold to him before he shows. Granted, in his shoes I would probably table my higher straight right away, but I wouldn't call it slow rolling if he showed as soon as everyone else had folded.

I choose:

Let's try to get our favorite NYC 10/20 game going sometime this week -- what day(s) are good for you? I will talk to the "folks at the place" and try to get them to push one or two days in particular for the 10/20 LHE.

I would give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. If he has K2o and rivers trip deuces and takes forever, then get on his ass

Oh god I wish I had been at this table. Very few things in life rank higher on my list of "things I enjoy doing way too much" than playing with a tilting Willy D.

This does suck, but doesn't sound like that bad a breach of conduct. I saw much, much worse that same weekend at Foxwoods (including the 10-20 stud hand where the guy didn't raise Queens full on the river that you saw... I just consider it bad form not to raise clear winners on the river).

If the people before him hadn't acted, the guy did nothing wrong.

Tough break on getting beat, but your reaction sounds like sour grapes.
