These limits are a part of what’s known as “poker etiquette” – a set of unwritten poker rules that the 9️⃣ majority of players knows and follows.

The “slow roll” belongs to this group and is considered a big no-no for most 9️⃣ players, so let’s dig deeper into what it means and why it’s a problem.

What Is Slow Rolling In Poker?

A slow 9️⃣ roll is when you have an extremely strong hand but take a long time to make an easy call when 9️⃣ closing the action on the river. Slow rolling is also when you know you have the best hand but purposely 9️⃣ take a long time to reveal your hand at showdown.

For example, let’s say you have KhJh, and there are three 9️⃣ hearts by the river. You bet, and your opponent calls. Since they didn’t raise, you can be sure you have 9️⃣ the best hand even though it’s not the absolute nuts.
