Slow Rolling On The Poker Forums

NO sooner has the Poker Anorak spoken of slow play then a row breaks out on the poker forums.
Says Garybet: "I've heard that slowrolling is the lowest of the low. Does what you did just now make you a lowlife scumbag?"
Garybet is addressing BooWee, who offers in defence of the allegation of slow playing, if not the name calling: "Slow Roll - never. I have a very poor connection these days perhaps it's that? Show me the hand and I'll tell u if there was a motive or just connection problems."
Seems reasonable to us.
Steven Ebayson adds to the argument: "Blackday u clearly have anger management issues if u feel the need to follow Boowee's every move and rail him. Boo has plenty of people who can vouch that he is a gentleman, however I have never heard of someone defending you."
Let us not get into this. We take no side, just note that the Forums are a place of lively poker debate.
As for slowrolling, it might be described thus: Having the winning hand (often a big hand) and taking a long time to show the hand when asked to declare. It is considered bad etiquette.
It's tantamount to rubbing it in - winning big and then letting the loser wait and wait to see what you've got.
But slowrolling need not be all bad. Take it away, Ray Charles:
