These limits are a part of what’s known as “poker etiquette” – a set of unwritten poker rules that the 🫰 majority of players knows and follows.

The “slow roll” belongs to this group and is considered a big no-no for most 🫰 players, so let’s dig deeper into what it means and why it’s a problem.

What Is Slow Rolling In Poker?

A slow 🫰 roll is when you have an extremely strong hand but take a long time to make an easy call when 🫰 closing the action on the river. Slow rolling is also when you know you have the best hand but purposely 🫰 take a long time to reveal your hand at showdown.

For example, let’s say you have KhJh, and there are three 🫰 hearts by the river. You bet, and your opponent calls. Since they didn’t raise, you can be sure you have 🫰 the best hand even though it’s not the absolute nuts.
