Why not just put your feet up on the back of someone's chair at the movies? Why not just mug everyone that is weaker than you? As long as it's +EV who cares if they get upset.

I'm kind of surprised at how many people don't understand the point of this thread.

In the civilzed world you do not go around trying to enrage your fellow man. You treat people in the world with dignity and respect. This is what civilzation aspires towards. People who slowroll are saying that they want us to revert back to poo-flinging apes for no other reason that it will make it easier for them to eat.

But if everyone followed their example than civilization would crumble and then only the strongest would eat. Most slowrollers are not the strongest so they should do their best to contribute to the maxims of civilization.

I equate slowrolling to talking trash, admiring your home run instead of just running the bases, doing a big touchdown dance, etc. It's showing up your opponent. You're basically taunting your opponent with your victory.

I don't like that in any sport, and I don't like it in poker.

Exactly. Limit hold em was invented by the Beast in a hope to destroy man by his own vices.

I think trying to tilt people is [censored].

If I yell at people in chat it's because I'm the one on tilt.

Slowrolling makes you a piece of crap and Jesus will cry.
