    [SIZE=5][SIZE=2]Moderator Note: All slowroll hand histories should be posted in this thread.

    Its that time of year again!!![/SIZE]

    [SIZE=3]Welcome back to another wonderful October season! The slowroll, the red-headed step child of poker, for one month of the year gets all the attention and love it deserves, I present to you the 4th annual Ganktober![/SIZE]

    [SIZE=3]First off, whether you hate me, love me, hate the slowroll, or love the slowroll, I want to thank you in advance for being a part of a really awesome month! If you log in to play in October, you are undoubtly going to see a rediculous increase in slowrolls, and chaces are if your not slowrolling, your getting slowrolled! [/SIZE]

    [SIZE=3]Why would I start something like this?[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=3]Personally, I love the slowroll, it has always amazed me how much more a poker player, sometimes even seasoned veterans, would be effected by being slowrolled, and sometimes even just witnessing a slowroll. There is not a more emotional weapon in poker. Yet, it frowned upon, but why? Because it is unsportsmanlike? I do not buy it, as a competitor, I am cut throat(with-in the rules), and when I have something in my aresenal that may get a player to play poorly against me, not just for that day, but maybe for months or a lifetime, and I shouldn't use it because it is not nice? Maybe if we were playing uno, but poker is war, and if I can tilt my opponents, using the same oppurtunities that everyone else has to use as well, I do not hesitate. So from my personal love of the slowroll, I started Ganktober to get the poker community to give the slowroll another chance, and to be open to giving it the love and attention that I feel it deserves.[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=3]So please join me in celebrating what is always a very fun and controversial month![/SIZE]

    [SIZE=3]p.s. Anyone who slowrolls me sucessfully in October will get an insta $10 shipped[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=3]p.p.s Please to not move to Bad beat section until Oct. 1st, at which time I invite everyone to start posting their slowrolls in this thread![/SIZE]

    Slowrolling without hammer-locked nuts is not reccomended tho, AA<AJ=AJ and nutflush<flopped set...full tilt rng timing is not in compliance it seems.

    +1 to the guy that said he assumes a slowroll as soon as someone calls time. Don't do them personally, but if you get tilted by them then you are wrapped way too tight for life.
