Re: Sick slow call, slow roll story (very lightly embellished)
The one moment I had in a cardroom was in a limit game where I had a king and the board was A-x-K-K on the turn. I had raised an got called. My opponent checked the river before the card came and I had the requisite number of chips in my hand to bet. I was about to put them down when the river came another Ace. I knew he now had aces full, so I let my hand down with the chips in them and said "check." He insisted that my action was a bet since I broke my stack and came forward with the chips. It was obvious I meant to check.
But by the letter of the law he was right. I said to him," Are you really going to make me bet?" He said yes. I bet, he raised and I folded. I then picked up some more chips and tossed them at him, telling him that kind of move deserved more than just one bet.
