A good story of a jerk getting a well deserved slow-roll would be highly appreciated!

I have considered it but never had the balls/right opportunity to deploy one.

There might have been some minor changes in details that a non-poker player wouldn't have noted. For example, she might have just flashed her cards but never released them, and then placed them in the middle of the muck. In which case, the story stands. If she tabled them as described, or placed them on top of the muck as described (where the losing player could have invoked IWTSTH), the story doesn't completely hold up to modern rules. But then again, it is a good story.

Yeah, every time I've heard this story, the old lady is super rich, and gives all the other players at the table a table share. I'd be shocked if any variant of this story ever happened, it's pretty clearly a poker urban legend.

That story is true. But the woman's name was Annie. She was playing on an Asteroid. With a bunch of Alien's. Single player only though.

Probably because can't slow roll the jerk without ALSO slow rolling seat 6, who probably didn't deserve it?

The guy flatted kings to a raise, I wouldn't feel that bad about it.

I have two that immediately come to mind, one funny, one kind of sad in a sick way. Playing decently friendly 2/5 game where we had been chopping blinds if nobody opened the pot. Older reg in bb, young kid in sb. No action before the sb, bb looks at him and says chop? Kid arrogantly says "no way", and promptly raises to $20. BB calls and we see a flop of A8X with 2 hearts. SB leads again for @ pot, call. Turn blank, roughly same pot sized bet, call. River pairs board with 8 of hearts, sb shoves and gets snap called. Proudly shows his J7 of hearts for the flush while BB is rolling over A8 for the boat. Reg says "I guess you should have chopped, huh" as kid is leaving poker room and we all had a good chuckle.

Different night, but funny enough same starting hand involved. Saturday night 2/5 game with good mix of regs and gamblers. A kid I had never seen shows up with a fresh $500 rack and commences to check raise all-in with every other hand after flop. He would always flip his hand proudly to show a big bluff while dragging small pots. Obviously, he started getting his check raises called down fairly light and he lost 4 racks in about 20 minutes. He was just getting his 5th rack delivered when this hand went down. 4 or 5 players see a flop of 4 6 8 rainbow. He checks his action under the gun, guy bets, and our "hero" shoves his fresh rack of $500 (like we all knew he was going to do). Original bettor snap calls and shows A8. Board runs out Ace on turn, 8 on river. Our check raising hero slams 5 7 down face up and storms out of the room, never to be seen again.

This is pedantic, but designating something as an urban legend doesn't necessarily mean it's false. Urban legends are tales - true or not - told to enforce a certain morality or to serve as a cautionary tale.

I wouldn't be surprised if some distant relative of the story happened - maybe with two spiteful old men and a HHJ rather than a BBJ, for instance - and that propagated and grew. Or maybe someone threatened to do it - "I'm going to muck if my straight flush hits on the river, to spite you" - and it morphed into someone actually doing it.

Having actually studied this subject in college - I can confirm that what you say *is* true. They *can* be true.

However, they're usually completely unsubstantiated.

Here’s one personally witnessed. A couple of months ago I was playing 1/3nl with a generally friendly table of middle aged guys and gray hairs. {I’m one of the gray hairs). But one guy, I’d guess in his mid-thirties was being generally obnoxious, insulting how other people played their hands and dramatically splashing his bets all over the table. I have about $400 and have obnoxious guy covered. Under the gun I was dealt QT spades. I limped and obnoxious guy raised to $10 got four callers, including me. The flop came KJ spades and some red 5. Hot damn, I’ve got an up and down straight and straight flush draw. I checked and obnoxious guy bet about $30 into the $50 pot, and got two callers including me. Turn comes a non-spade K. I check again and obnoxious guy bets about $80 and again gets three callers. River is the Ace of spades. Hot damn, I’ve hit a royal flush. I checked and obnoxious guy took his remaining red and white chips, slammed them into one very tall stack, shoved the tower into the middle and practically shouted all in. The other two previous callers folded and I calmly said I call and push my chips in. Dealer said “show me a winner” and obnoxious guy again practically shouted “the nuts” and showed pocket aces for an AAA/KK full house. I calmly said “that’s not the nuts…this is” and turn over my QT spades for the royal. While the rest of table laughed loudly at him, obnoxious guy looked absolutely stunned. The look on his face was priceless. He did a triple take on the board and my QT, then got up and stormed out of the room. If he hadn’t been such a jerk and incorrectly claimed the nuts, most of the table would have sympathized with him instead of laughing at him.

3rd nuts anyway, quad Kings is also possible.

I have been at the table, with an amazingly good seat, to witness this happening over a HH.

Could you share that story with us?

This is from last year at Harrah's in Las Vegas right before the World Series. I have been playing all night at the same table and it is around 3:00 0r 4:00 in the morning game is 5 handed getting ready to break.

Local Vegas grinder serious asshat has a stack around $600 and I cover him, He is terrible for the game if he is losing harrasses the fish and talks ****, I raise 8c5c UTG and he calls and another player calls. The flop is what I think is bingo 8 5 3. I decide to check he bets 25. button who has 1010 raises to 90. I just call because I want the asshat to stay in the hand.

Then local just rips allin, button tank folds the over pair. I try to get the local to talk he is super tight so I actually consider folding, He is never shipping one pair, I even say his exact hand 33. I just hate him so much I talk myself into calling.

You know what's coming a beautiful 8 on the river he goes nuts as I turn my hand over and starts talking crap of course. I get this huge bunch of chips pushed to me and take a picture and he yells at me, What are you doing?

I just tell him I am taking a picture of your chips so I can post it everywhere on the internet. I immediately rack up.

You chose an appropriate name!

They werrrreee sooootted

lol

I'm not sure any of us want to know if you did.

I don't play live cash much because I don't enjoy it and because I don't have that type of money.

anyway the casino near me offered a 1/3 game with $50-200 BI and a 2/4 game
the 1/3 was full so I decided to BI for half at the 2/4 game.. $200,
some guy walks in my second hand at the table sits down and says nothing but keeps eyeing me off for like 5 hands, no matter what I did he was just staring at me and being rude.

So on my 9th or 10th hand I pick up tens, 3 people get in for $20 and I think to myself TT is probably not gonna be good here so i'll set mine.

board comes something like KJT I've flopped a set and 2 people acting first check and the guy that was eyeing me of led for $45 so I raised him to $105 and he jammed for about $140 and I sat there trying to count his chips to see how much to call - musta taken me about 30 seconds until the dealer who should have counted asks call or fold I say call.. without even bothering to get my chips into the middle.

the guy eyeing me off laughs and says I've got you and flips over K9 I flip over TTT and he starts yelling for a queen and misses and storms out.

on his way out he said something to a guy that I barely heard but it was like what a donk I lost my going out money and left.

2 hands later I left because I didn't want to risk around $400+ dollars when I only had a $1200 roll not the best story but w/e I don't have many of them because I've only played live a handful of times.

I know it wasn't intentional and just a lack of live experience, but it was definitely pretty bad form for you to sit there for about 30 seconds when you're facing a $35 bet into $325 or whatever and you have a set. If you can't see how much it is, just say "call" if you know you're calling and you can figure it out.

Also, the dealer is not supposed to count bets unless requested, so the dealer was correct. If you need to know how much the bet is in order to decide if you're calling, you should request the dealer to give you a count.

GL.

You're supposed to tell stories where the jerk gets owned instead of slowrolls, wins the hand and does a hit and run.

I didn't mean to hnr I play HU all day online... it was just that the money was so a large amount thats like 200 hours of playing HU online to risk in one hand where I can bust even with the nuts on flop or turn

if it was the 1/3 game I would have stayed and I don't really think it was a slow roll well least not intentional I was literally leaning in trying to count his chips then said call.

only reason I posted it here was because of him eyeing me off and the guy to m right that I had seen there 3/5 times gave me a nod after the hand. No one reacted like it was a slow play and the guy literally stood up and started yelling for a queen which turned me of the game.. after that I didn't want to stay.



when I got up to leave the dealer made a cocky remark "you could've won so much" personally I don't like live games.. sitting there is crappy and slow I only went because it was an outing because I hadn't left the house in months and thought it'd be a nice night out... now if I go out I go to the beach or movies because live games are trashy and I don't like people eyeing me even if I had a roll I wouldn't play live because of the pace of the game and the people that frequent it.

The only + that I seen to live player at casinos are the people that come downstairs from the top floor after playing blackjack and want to give it a go but they usually leave after losing $20 and most players are extremely arrogant when it comes to play.

I feel like most over estimate themselves and the game. It plays like 5c/10c online at 1/3 and 25c50c at 2/4 and now they've changed the format so its $5/5 no 1/3 or 2/4 $100-500 **** that **** most of the players probably begged for higher stakes. I'll go again once they make the new casino and introduce $1/2 by then I might have a roll and might give it a shot but that goes back to my previous statement about how I wouldn't play even if I had a roll. if it was online I would have snap called its just that I didn't know how much he had behind him for sure and wanted to know but didn't know I could ask the dealer.

I mean it's kind of funny that you are griping about live poker being slow and the pace turning you off while you sit there for 30 seconds getting 10:1 on a flop shove with a set, right?

I didn't know how much he had behind him man if it was online and I could see the numbers I would have snapped...

You put in $20 preflop, then $105 on the flop so it was at best $75 more. This is a straight up slowroll, just say call.

I mean.... I probably stepped in it.
