Slow Rolls Revisited

It's funny. Last Saturday I wrote a post (Eight Months and Eighty Two Posts Later) in which I basically bragged about how I had gotten back to even lifetime. I said I was going to proceed with caution. Then what do I do? I break my bankroll rules and lose $200.

Two days ago I wrote a little post (Slow Rolls) in which I said I don't understand why people get so angry when they get slow rolled. Well, after my crummy day yesterday ( Getting Run Over) I understand that annoyance. In the hand I described where I busted out, the lady who beat me made a runner-runner full house for a virtually unbeatable hand. Did she have to wait so long after I showed my pocket kings to announce they were no good? Quite frankly, suffering a bad beat is bad enough without having salt rubbed in the wound. Earlier I had a guy river the nut flush on me when I was holding two pair, and he also slow-rolled me and that pissed me off a bit too.

Still, I think there is little point in getting angry about slow rolls. Getting angry will just put you on tilt. Shrug it off. Put it behind you.

Easier said than done.
