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

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.

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.
