As the title suggests i got slow rolled, and this one was a doozy!
I open shoved 13k( i had 600 chips more than him) in on a flop of kt2 of diamonds, with a what i thought was a bluff with a pair of tens. The person to call hums and haws about it for a good 20-30 seconds, talking to himself, holds his cards in the air, moves as if to fold, moves his chips as if there is a decision. And then says i have to call and shows a6dd.
The whole table is stunned and the pot is shipped to him.
Naturally steaming, i flip out and ask what were you thinking??! He gives some BS story which im not really interested in, but says " i did it because.........". I get up and steam off at the break, only to be told by other people before he was moved to the table he did some move knowingly out of turn to force people out of the pot.
Poker is supposed to be a game of good sportsmanship, nh, gg, wp etc..., but can you ever enforce rulings that knowingly break good ethics? There are unwritten rules in the game, but should some be actually written to prevent assholes like these from getting their ''fun'', because I see no need for it.
