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