Floor ruling - out of turn - forced to call someone's all in

River ($800) Ad Kd 5c 6c 2d
Seat 1 ($1,200) QdJd is thinking of what to do.
Seat 2 ($2,000) JdTs bets $600 out of turn.
Seat 1 calls time and says "I haven't acted yet."
Seat 1 now bets $200.

From my understanding this is a change of action. However, at BAY101 ruling is seat 2 is forced to raise to $600 still. If Seat 1 bet more than half of the bet say $400, seat 2 is forced to call the $400. If seat 1 bet $605, seat 2 now has an option to take his / her bet back because the bet amount is more than what he was trying to bet.

Example 2
Drunk guy acts out of turn on the before the flop and says all in for $500. Dealer says it's not his turn yet. Seat 1 now bets $25, seat 2 3bets to $100, seat 3 goes all in for $400. BAY101 is saying the drunk guy still has to go all in because his all in is more than any action that happened before him.

What is the point of having a rule of "bet stands unless action changes?" The rule does not say "bet stands unless a player raises to a great amount than what you raised.

Extreme example playing $10/$20 and you are $10k deep and 3 other players have between 5k-9k. You act out of turn and say all in on the river with a missed flush draw and only have 4d3d on 2d5dJcKc8Js board. Even if all 3 players go all in, you are forced to call all in with 4 high because you have more chips than they do.

Does this make any sense? I understand they want to "punish" the player for acting out of turn, so they do not "angle" people. Bay101 interpretation of this rule is ludicrous though. When a player acts out of turn "action stands unless a player before raises to a greater amount than the out of turn player." Even if it goes 2 bet - 3 bet - 4 bet - 5 bet - 6 bet etc. If the 6th bet is less than the out of turn player's all in, he is still forced to go all in.

Do other casinos rule the same way?

If I bet out of turn because I thought you checked, now you bet, its change of action from "checking" to betting..should not be forced to raise or call based on the amount you decide to bet.

It is different if you still check, then my bet still stands..if someone bets couple people call, i raise to X amount out of turn. If you fold or call the initial bet, my action stands as a raise..however, if you deicde to raise over their bet its a change of action.

You can"t make rules where
1) if a player bets 0-50% of what you were going to bet, fhey are forced to raise to the amount they bet out of turn.
2).51-100% they are forced to call your bet and can not raise.
3).if you bet 101%+ a little more than I was going to bet, now I have optjon to fold.

Make sense now?

Actually, any casino can make any rule it likes. You get to decide if it matters enough not to play there.

I agree, that it seems odd. In my casino, unless the OOP players ALL check, thus NOT changing the 'action', the person acting out of turn gets to exercise all of his options.

But to be fair, as it typically plays out, the OOP player checks, forcing the bettor to act anyway, and then if OOP wants, OOP can then raise.

The only angle I can see for the OOP player, is to be able to bet just over 1/2 the pot and preclude the IP player from putting in the full amount.

But each interpretation has its shortcomings.

If you allow the OOP player to act out of turn but then get a free roll if any action precedes his, he gets to influence the action also.

For example, I am SB and want to bet out to squeeze the BB out, knowing the BTN still has to act. But because the BTN acted first, now I am forced to check, which allows BB to check, then when the bet comes around to me, I have the BB still acting, but LAST instead of second.

No easy answers here. Bay 101 seems to punish the IP bettor the most, giving more options to the other players. Does not seem inherently unfair.

I would be more concerned having two Jd in the deck. That seems a little bit unfair to me, unless you are playing some exotic variant of holdem.

Anyway players should pay attention and respect the rules. Also know the rules.

Agree with necro, for your third example if you are going all in out of turn in a $10/$20 game then you deserve to lose.. lol know the rules stop acting out of turn.

There are a lot of MW pots in live games and also some big stacks. Its very common for someone to cover their hand either with their palm or behind their stacks. Its hard for example seat 1 to see seat 9 cards or 4 to see seat 6. If there cards are not visible in front of their stack you are rewarding them for hiding their cards.

If person bets out of turn then the player should use it to their advantage and check. I think this rule based on bet size rewards angle shooting or hiding cards.
