f it im of to bed.  that slowroll made me hope he loses

What slowroll did he do??

Greco Finds a Hand; Promptly Doubles
Michael Greco raised to a barely-over-the-minimum 130,000 and Pete Vilandos called him from the big blind.

Flop:     9c 3c Ks

Vilandos checked and Greco bet 200,000. Call.

Turn:   9h

Vilandos checked again and now Greco made it 250,000 to go -- only for Vilandos to announce all in to cover Greco. Greco now had a real decision -- he wandered off for a moment, then came back to the table and stared at Vilandos for some time.

Then he called for his last 500,000.

Vilandos:    Kd  Ts
Greco:    Ahrt Ad

"Hold! HOOLLLLLDDD!" pleaded the Greco railers (Mr Hougaard was allowed back in at the break).

River:  

Greco doubles to over 2 million.



WTF?

as if your ever folding aces there when getting around 3/1.  just trying to suck up tv time
 

wtf are they not showing the other final table for.  id rather watch ivey vs mortenson and lee instead of 4 nobodys

grecos railers are the biggest clowns ever

Hardly a slowroll.

Nitroll.

thats jesper hougaard.  won 2 bracelets last year and staked greco into this event afaik

and lol at snoopy.  so your getting 3/1 and you would think about folding and being shortstacked?  it was a slowroll pure and simple

Always easier from the rail. Nitroll, as Rookie said.

ROFL

you are clueless.  there is a 100% chance NOONE is folding this hand.  if you fold then you are shortstacked

therefore if you have no intension/cant fold and you take your time calling.  its a slowroll

LOL its hardly a slowroll unless your holding the abs nuts tbf.

Nitroll, but yeh obv not folding.

EDIT: Unless your balancing your slowrolling range ldo.

No, not clueless. And as for 100 percent, no way, especially if you've played Paul Parker. If you've played Greco, you'll know he's an absolute rock who wouldn't be (as crazy as it sounds) beyond folding this hand, so this is most likely a nitroll. I think it's worth taking into consideration that this is a WSOP final table with both a bracelet and $607,256 up for grabs. It's a pretty important hand, so I think I can forgive him for not insta-calling on this occasion. Also, as Chiprich said, he's only got a pair here with the river still to come, it's not as if he's fucking around with quads. The way the hand's played out, his opponent could have a nine. Obviously his range is wide enough to hold other cards, so from our perspective it's an easy call, but he's probably knackered, with emotions running high, so let's not begrudge him a little thought before making the call. He also might have some reads on the guy or something too. Greco don't half get a lot of grief, and some of it is probably justified when he lets his "Italian temperament" get the better of him, but at least he's one of these ex-celebrities who's given his all to the game and really worked hard to succeed. Well done I say, third place for $248,855 is a fine result, especially since he grinded a short stack for most of the tournament. Being quick to point the finger and shout "slowroll!" if someone doesn't insta-call seems to be an obsession these days.

Agree- just cos most of us would snap does not make it a slow roll

+1

need to look up slowroll again imo

even if he was never realistically folding its not a slowroll

slowroll my ****

i believe he had 2 pair

if he wasen't english you would agree it's a slowroll.  i dont care if he is a nit

Gianni di Marco wouldve snapped.

without a shadow of a doubt, i believe teresa di marco would also have snapped

I thought he was Italian? at least he was on Eastenders ;whistle;

wellard wouldve snapped

The mitchell brothers took a dim view of his slowroll

Grant was already unhappy with him trying it on with Tiffany.

frank and pat were prevalent on Beppe's rail

Ian was next to join Beppe's rail, mainly just to tilt Grant.

How can it be a slowroll if bepe hasn't seen villain's cards? Clear nitroll.

could these 2 be related

just the picture made me involuntarily snigger

What is meant by the term "slowroll"?

If you slowroll someone, then this means that you take an incredibly long period of time (usually the full amount that you are allowed to take) to call when your opponent is already all-in, you have the stone cold nuts and there is nobody left to act after you.

Meaning, you can't lose the hand under ANY circumstances, there is nobody left to act in the hand (meaning, you don't need to act like you don't have a very strong hand as there is no point), yet you still take you sweet time in making the call.

[ ]This hand was a slowroll

Is Minty still in?

hahahahaha vnh brent

;applause;

hes got 1/4 mill that says he done the right thing at some point, well done  mike "dont call me beppe" grecco

ROFL GOLD!

hes railing himself?

er no

ah just looked at it closer, hes playing  ;booboo; ;marks;

I think the word slowroll shouldn't be used on a whim, as it does describe a deliberate delay when you are absolutely sure that you have the best hand. It's about as low as you can get in poker, and not something that Greco would ever consdier doing.

Obviously this is a snap call, but I think you can't be sure you have the best hand, especially as the way the hand has played out has made it obvious that Greco has a big hand.

Nitrolls are frustrating for the opponent, but there is technically nothing wrong with them at all, people just have different styles of play.

lol'ing at this thread - quality.





ps
[ ] slowroll

Lol, nh sir.

This is a TV time dwell up at worst.  I don't think it was even that though.  A slow-roll is wasting time when you're holding the nuts just to give your all-in opponent a suggestion that he might be winning purely out of spite.  Grecco has one pair here how can it possibly be a slow-roll.

Brent thats Lynne Slater, not Tiffany!

Amateur!

ahahahhahaha, quality thread!

 ;bumwiggle;

He finished 3rd, the greek bloke won obv.

It's one of those "I knew you had a 9 I shoudl have folded Aces" delay- just so on camera he can say "I knew I was beat" blah blah blah.

VWP though!

I think this thread sums the Brits up perfectly, find fault in our own as soon as someone starts to do well.

Well played I say, never a slow roll.

Bit of an overgeneralisation don't you think as only one person was finding any fault?

I've always thought this was true about us Brits.

Thought you were Greek ffs.

Yeah well maybe your right, just a little frustrating that a thread focuses on a perceived slow roll,  rather than the achievement.

when it suits me!

Sneaked in a little Grayson there I see, nh...

and that one person isn't even british is he?

apart from that it's a pretty good observation owen
