Please vote as to whether or not this is a slowroll. I will not give my side until the vote is in but I have action on one side...

Game is a homegame. It's a sit n go.

Player A is on the button and pushes all in.

Player B in small blind goes all in. Everyone else folds.

Player A shows pocket 9's.

Player B sighs, pauses, sighs then flips over pocket aces.

I will say after if I am A or B. Thanks.

That sounds like a slow roll. If you have aces why go to all the dramatic sighing and pausing, just turn the cards over.

as put its a slowroll, but it is a genuine possibility the guy is not slow rolling if he is superstitious and has noticed overpairs getting cracked alot.

Player B is stupid. There's no reason for this. Yes, slowroll.

This.

Basically, if it's a game with your buddies, the whole point is to slowroll each other.

Once in a head-up pot pre-flop, a good friend moved all-in on me. I took a full minute, said, "I guess this is as good a spot as I'm going to get," and called with AA.

He had JJ. I won. He still likes me, I think.

No. He wanted to induce the big blind to call. Obv BB folded pocket kings thats why he sighed.

Not a slowroll, the hand isnt over yet. He was prolly mentally preparing himself for a beat.

I voted no because a slowroll occurs at the end of the hand, and your opponent's delay in tabling his hand leads you to believe that you've won the hand when you haven't. Here, Player B engages in conduct that would be a slowroll if it had occurred after the river, but Player A can't think he has won the hand, only that he is ahead. The conduct in OP is similar, but I don't see it as a slow roll. Nonetheless, IMHO, it is bad etiquette in a game where slowrolling is frowned upon.

Player B takes time, clearly indicates that he has a worse hand, and then flips up AA. if you don't think that's a slowroll you're ******ed
