Cash game.

Stakes and stacks unimportant.

Utg raises from seat 10. Seat 1 folds. Before Seat 2 acts Seat 3 folds, Seat 4 calls and Seat 5 calls. Then the dealer realises that Seat 2 hasn't acted.

What actions are open to Seat 2?

All options open.
Can call only.
Hand dead.

Hand is dead unless it's in his local card room and he's a regular

If there's 2 actions in most places they'll kill the hand in question which imo is effing ridic. Surprised there's not more angles around this rule cos it's certainly exploitable

the ruling is the hand is dead with two actions after you've missed your action, certainly everywhere in the UK where this ruling has been sought in identical circumstances

Because this very thing happened to me in Luton-G (& I was the "Seat 2") I know that their Rule USED to be that my hand is dead.

It was a while back, when I was at that age where I was prepared to argue about such trivialities, so I asked "upon what basis can an innocent party be penalised?".

The reply was that I must have had time to draw the Dealers attention to the domino effect behind me, & as I failed so to do, & thus gained an advantage, my hand was dead.

The date, in case you are interested, was August 9th, 2006. I recall it so vividly because Karma came to my rescue, & I chopped the Tourney.

Thin as thin gets, but seamlessly contextualised.

I was always under the impression that it was 3 actions as opposed to 2.

But it's one of those where I think a little common sense has to be applied.

If the UTG player snaps out a day dream as the dealer is giving the big blind their option then yes, hand obviously dead.

And as a dealer if you see someone realise someone has acted after them and they don't call attention to it then hand dead.

Otherwise though if it's only a few actions (3, prob 4 at the most) and the impression is the whole thing was a bit of an accident then i'd be inclined to roll the action back and treat the other bets as out of turn.

People that are willing to roll back a couple of actions. Would it make a difference to your opinion of the hand if someone behind raised?

3 passive actions (folding), 2 active (calling/ raising)..

Opens the game up to a whole load more angle shooting.

For example, you have a marginal hand UTG you can now simply cover your cards with your hands, hope UTG+1 doesn't notice, see how the action goes and then call it back when you know if it's going to be limped behind you.

If it just takes two actions to make the hand dead that could be very unfair.

It would just take one out of turn bet and a snap-fold behind.
