Slowrolling someone is incredibly bad poker etiquette, so you better have a really good reason for doing so (like your opponent is an ex-friend who slept with your wife). Example of a slowroll: With the board reading A-A-2-2-7, your opponent pushes all of his chips into the middle of the table. You are heads-up in the hand. You hold A-A for Quads and the stone cold nuts. You can not lose this hand, no matter what your opponent is holding. Despite the fact that you have the stone cold nuts, you take your time and pretend like you are making a very hard decision.
