I don't understand why people say phrases such as, "and he had the nerve to slowroll me..." ??? Is it somehow unethical to disguise your hand and trap your opponent? Did I miss that in the courtesies of poker FAQ?

I dunno, I get fed up of reading blogs and articles where it says, "Man he had the NERVE to slowroll AA preflop on me...its so rude and i want to beat his ass for it"

What the hell guys? He trapped you, outplayed you. Move on to the next hand. Sure, I hate it when it happens to me, but how is it sleazy in any way, shape, or form?

Not sure if you understand the definition of "slowrolling."

Trapping/outplaying people is fine...but taking your time bank to call an AI reraise from a single opponent preflop with AA is rude...u don't see why?

i could see how it is a tiny bit rude...but i dont think its as big of a deal as people make it...time bank online is what 60 seconds usually no?

It's weird tho...b/c when u play live, slowrolling is considered to be cool...so def do it if you get a chance in a casino...good luck at the tables.
