A 19-hour losing poker session for Andrew Neeme at Bellagio's $5/$10 tables was punctuated by an opponent's slowroll in a hand with a $2,085 pot.

The poker vlogger is 98% sure that the slowroller did not actually realize that he had the winning hand based on the recreational player's actions and comments. One of those comments included telling Neeme "you got it" after Neeme called his all-in bet on the river, but before hands were shown.

But Neeme didn't have it, as he eventually discovered, when the slowrolling player turned over his cards to reveal a higher two pair after Andrew was first to show his hole cards.

Neeme stated:

"Huge slowroll, and a little bit shocking and annoying, to say the least."



Spotted Tell

Making matters worse was that Andrew likely spotted and exploited a huge tell that convinced him to make the $730 call on the river. His opponent's embarrassment after realizing that he did indeed have the winning hand made Neeme feel almost certain that the rec actually did misread his hole cards.

But that 2% of uncertainty may linger for awhile after the marathon poker session that saw Neeme get stuck for $1,150. He may have seen slowrolls in his sleep after finally heading to bed after beginning his day of poker at 1:30 a.m. and finally leaving the Bellagio at 9:30 p.m.


Do As I Say, Not As I Do

Speaking of sleep, Neeme advised his vlog viewers and 35,000+ subscribers not to emulate his sleeping habits. Any pattern or routine with regard to proper shut-eye has been "wrecked" for the poker vlogger.

While driving in his car and still on the way to Bellagio, Neeme spoke yearningly of this particular poker session perhaps being a short "hit and run job." Nineteen hours, a slowroll, and $1,150 dollars later, he was on his way home.


Quads and Value

The session's negative vibe was reduced somewhat towards the end of Neeme's stay at the tables when he managed to flop quads while on the button. The big blind three-bet pre-flop and continued to lead with bets post-flop and on the turn and river.

The BB's bet on fifth street was an all-in shove for $800. Neeme was more than happy to call, creating a $3,080 pot. That winning hand and others put him ahead a couple hundred bucks at the time. That profit, however, was short-lived.
