Sorry if this has been posted before.

What rules do you use when some one bets out of turn. Where I play if the person bets out of turn then that bet stands but they are not allowed to bet for the rest of the hand. This rule has only recently come in because in the past if someone bet out of turn then the bet wouldn't stand and they would not be allowed to bet for the rest of the hand.

What rules do you play and what, in your experience, is best for this situation?

HS

tyes the bet stands, however, the said better is allowed to bet again after the next community card come out ie, if they bet out of turn after the flop, then they can join in the betting again after the turn has come.

Find out the house rules before the tournament starts as different casinos and card rooms may have different rules.

What do you think of that rule then? The reason I ask is because I've notice a few people doing this on purpose as it gives them the opportunity to bluff first.

i think the rule we use ie the one i posted above it best.

The rule that you cant bet for the rest of the hand is bollox, can i ask then, if you bet out of turn on the flop, and your banned from betting the rest of the hand, what happens come the river and someone bets into you, do you only have the option to fold or call?? or do you have to fold? im confused by this rule

And what if you bet out of turn when it isnt your fault. On a few occasions i have bet when the dealer turns to me and tells me its my action only for someone else who is before me to say "what about me" as they are sat there with their hands covering their cards so that the dealer couldnt see them.

Why should i then be punished?

should the dealer be forced to sit out the rest of the hand?  :D

If you bet out of turn, then your bet will stand unless somebody makes a bet before the bet out of turn
If the bet (in order) is more than the bet out of turn, the bet out of turn can be taken back

I would also warn the player that if it happens again a penalty will be awarded

Yes but is the better out of turned banned from the rest of the hand, ie turn, river?

how does this work?

Where I play, the person who bet out of turn is not allowed to speak for the rest of the hand, i.e. he can only call or fold. He cannot bet or re-raise.

Sometimes, this is a genuine mistake, like the situation Matt describes, but other times people do this either knowingly or when they are too keen to get their chips in first. I think that there needs to be a fair rule to stop people doing this on purpose. For example on a flop where you think the first to bet will take it down,

then what’s stopping you bet out of turn if the bet stands?

I’m just trying to work out what would be the best ruling for this situation as I have noticed some people doing it on purpose.

But sometimes betting out of turn is actually as disadvantage - thats why its always better to have position on your opponents. I understand what you are getting at that sometimes people bet out of turn if they think there opponent isnt that strong to try and force them to pass but the same tactic can also backfire.

If i'm sat there with the nuts and my opponent bets out of turn - i want him to be able to bet on the turn and river too!!!  :D

Yes, that is a good point. Maybe I'll suggest that they use that rule instead. The only issue I have is that there isn't much of a penalty for the poeple who do this consistenly. Thank god that most people I play with are honest and I now know who the 'cheaters' are.
