Rules ??

[Brett Kay]

yes bob,

Still have to call any previous bets out there but don't have to match the out of turn bet, just yet.

[Bacon]

Easiest thing to do Bob is to pay attention and not bet out of turn.

I know that's hard for you to do, given that you usually don't shut up on the poker table

OH MY GOD IS THAT YOU AGAIN MEGGA PHONE

If your gonna try and talk the talk and walk the walk with me MEGGA be prepared for a battle of words M8 or you will be on the BigBadBob grille. LOL

People, let me explain why I call this porker, "MEGGA PHONE".

He has the most obnotious sounding voice that is almost indescribable. He can be heard anywhere in or outside the building. Imagine what he's like on the same table

Not only is he loud but don't and I did say DON'T, let him tell you about any of his bad beat stories. Not only do they take forever but you need panadol afterwards.

However. I still call him my friend and I appologise to all who are within ear shot of this guy. In fact I think I can hear him now!!

See you at the Gardens Wednesday M8

Betting out of turn needs to be penalized more than just forcing a call.

I've seen someone 5xBB raised on my table way out of turn near the button. This happened on several occasions in a matter of thirty hands or so. The person under the current rules was able to enter the pot every time with only a big blind call at risk. He managed to setup a situation of fear without having to put the money in. I think most of the time everyone checked the flop and all he had to do was bet it to win.

It looked like a deliberate ploy. Not sure but it worked!

I was considering using it in my bag of tricks!

My rule suggestion is: Anyone who bets out of turn is mucked, even if they are in the big blind. Harsh but fair.

Matt,

You should have brought it to the attention of the TD.

In "Major Tournaments" acting out of turn more than once will attract time penalties. If this person is continuously doing it, the TD's does have the right to impose a time penalty on the player.

[Garth Kay]

Most definitely agrees to what Des says.
A continual infringement or breach of rules will result in a time penalty and then expulsion from the tournament.
Did you bring it to the attention of your TD?

[Brett Kay]

Also Matt,

His bet still stands as an out of Turn in Bet. He can't take money back once he has bet out of turn.

Definitely let your TD know next time as well.

Brett.
