Poker question.

[Tuna-Salad 0]

I don't play poker much but someone showed me a video of a guy in tourney going ape shit when losing a hand and complained about being "slow rolled".

What is slow rolling and why do people get pissed off about it?

I looked it up, but still don't really get it.. how you can play slow or know what someone else has to drag it out.

They don't know what the other players got, but they know that their own hand is strong enough that it can't be beaten. People get offended because its a dickhead thing to do.

Your rights end where my feelings begin.

this gives a good description of it. but basically it considered rude because it's just prolonging the inevitable and making your opponent think they have a chance when they dont.

liquor up front, poker in the rear.

Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

I don't see what is wrong with it and I think it would be fun to do that to someone.
