These limits are a part of what’s known as “poker etiquette” – a set of unwritten poker rules that the 3️⃣ majority of players knows and follows.
The “slow roll” belongs to this group and is considered a big no-no for most 3️⃣ players, so let’s dig deeper into what it means and why it’s a problem.
What Is Slow Rolling In Poker?
A slow 3️⃣ roll is when you have an extremely strong hand but take a long time to make an easy call when 3️⃣ closing the action on the river. Slow rolling is also when you know you have the best hand but purposely 3️⃣ take a long time to reveal your hand at showdown.
For example, let’s say you have KhJh, and there are three 3️⃣ hearts by the river. You bet, and your opponent calls. Since they didn’t raise, you can be sure you have 3️⃣ the best hand even though it’s not the absolute nuts.
