| Re: Betting / raising out of turn I like RRoP, but there is a gray area there.
In a local room I play in quite a bit, they have a little different rule which I believe works really well for people betting out of turn.
IF the dealer announces the action, and you are not paying attention, "chips in the pot, stay in the pot". So, those chips that were pushed in out of turn, go into the pot, the action continues, when it gets to you, then you can take appropriate action, (check, fold, bet, raise).
IF the dealer has not announced the action, they tell the player to simmer down, and that the action is not to him yet. If they player keeps acting out of turn, some of the dealers institute the "chips in the pot, stay in the pot" rule.
It works really well, and I'm actually thinking of starting to use it for the rare cases where I have that issue in my home game. |
