Slow roll (alt)

To deliberately delay the showing of a good hand in order to give other players false hope that their hand may be best. It is considerately very poor etiquette and can lead to confrontation with other players.
"Tom showed a pair of Jacks and I showed my set of 7s. I thought I'd won but Tom smiled and revealed two more Jacks, giving him quads. Tom was warned by the House for slow rolling.
