Default Slow rolling advice needed

Lately in our home games a few of the players, myself included, have encouraged slow rolling amongst ourselves to make the games a little more entertaining. With that being said, now these guys are expecting slow rolls, so I am going to have to be very creative in order to get them to think that they have won a pot and then piss them off as I turn over the winning hand. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[/ QUOTE ]1. Don't slow-roll.
2. If you must slow-roll, play for anything that remotely looks like an inside straight draw. Turn over the blank first when you hit. Doing so will have an enormously high -EV, but if you want the game to be more entertaining, this may be your avenue.

You proably won't want to do this in my home game as slow rolling is a sure way to get a beer bottle thrown at your head by everyone else at the table.

Obviously you need to designated a slow-rolling chair at the end of the table, so non-rollers won't get hit accidently by flying bottles.

That is a fun way to liven up the game.

Why don't you thwo your winner next to the muck and at last possible second retrieve your hand and say "not so fast scumbag!"

invite me to your game...slow-roll me and you'll find my foot directly in your scrotum. Slow-rolling is for a-holes and it isn't more entertaining.

Man, the OP declared it more entertaining, by definition. It's their home game, why you got to go hating like that? Just some guys razzing each other.

If I was in your game, I'd pretend to slow roll when I'm killed [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It's because he's a typical post skimmer who hasn't taken the time to read through the entire paragraph.

I said that a few of us were encouraging it amongst ourselves, obviously I wouldn't do it to someone who I thought would have even a small chance of getting that upset.
