This is kind of a multi-layered issue.
I was playing $1/$2 cash last night. Why? I don't know. I'm a tournament player. But that's another story.
This was a limpy, passive table, so we came to a river with four players and about $40 in the pot. The river card made the board 5,6,7,8. I was holding a suited A4 and was first to act. I lead out for $20, hoping nobody had a 9. Fold, Fold, last to act is a young woman who thinks for a bit then raises to $60. She'd been playing badly, playing any two cards, and had a habit of raising to $5 in late position, after half the table limped. So she didn't seem like much of a player and I thought there was a chance she was betting some two pair, or maybe she also had the idiot end of this straight.
So after thinking for a minute, I said "all right I call." As I was counting out the chips She said "Straight" and turned over a 4.
I said "whew, thank god, we're chopping," and flipped over my cards, and started pulling back the chips. Then she turned over her other card and said "I have a 9 too."
I've never been slow rolled like that in a casino before. Home games with friends is a different story, and that's all good. But in a casino, it's 100% wrong, and I was furious. I actually started to say "You b - " then I stopped myself. If it was a guy who did that, I would have told him that was an asshole move and he could fuck right off with that kind of slowrolling bullshit. But I'm not going to berate a woman like that. It just doesn't ever seem appropriate.
So my next reaction was to leave that table. I really did not want to play with her any more. But I didn't want to seem like I was storming off either. So I sat around for a couple more orbits, then I left.
