The Ultimate Slow Roll

You hear people bitching sometimes about being slow rolled. It's usually just because they are pissed off that their hand wasn't good enough and that the other player didn't turn the cards over fast enough. In most cases I just think people need to suck it up and worry about their own game and not worry about how fast someone turned over their cards.

Then something happened yesterday in of all places an online SNG. I was playing and it was a 9 person SNG. We were down to 3 (pays 3). First of all the guy who did the slow roll had been a jerk criticizing a couple players for their calls earlier. I had stayed out of it mostly until I had AJ on the button and I raised. Mooncoinstair12 (the jerk) immediately went all in. Now he has like me covered by 3 to 1 in chips. I fold. He flashes AK. I typed in the box AJ. He made some disparaging remark about my fold. I typed nice jam with AK buddy. Lucky I didn't have AA.

Anyways on to the hand which I wasn't involved in. The flop came A K K. GGChris94 (the other player) bet and Mooncoinstair12 called. Turn was a 3. Bet and call, River was a 9. GGChris94 jammed all in. Mooncoinstair12 typed in the chat box hmmmmmmm. Then he requested TIME. I thought wow does he have an Ace and wonder if his kicker is good or does he think GGChris has trip Kings?? Anyways when time is all most out he calls. What does he have?? KK . He flopped QUAD kings. The absolute nuts and he requested time. The guy was such a jerk. I went off on him in the chat box as there was no need to Hollywood that call up. He shut up after that. Wondering what GGChris94 had?? Two pair Kings and nines. Yea weird jam with that hand but whatever he didn't deserve to get that crap from Mooncoinstair12.

How did I end up?? I had As 9s. The flop came Qs Ts Qd. Just me and the jerk in the pot. I was really short stacked with blinds at 250/500 and I had just under 2000 chips. I pushed. Mooncoinstar12 called. He had AQ. Damn!!!. I had outs though. Then the turn brought the really lovely 7s to give me the nut flush. Yes. Then again you know this isn't going to have a happy ending (not that kind ). Anyways gets his Ace on the river for the boat and I am out. Too bad Karma didn't get him this time.

I see Lightning is organized a get together at the Rio on Sunday June 20th. I am going to do my absolute best to get over there if I can. As I mentioned in the comments box I have my family with me and it's fathers day. Of course if some miracle happens and I am still in my WSOP event it will be the final table that day. Now wouldn't that be awesome.. Dreams

Remember all my bitching about pocket Aces just killing me. Well they have won 11 times in a row for me lately?? Amazing isn't it?? Yea I know now I have jinxed myself for even typing that.

Aces 17/25
