Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 3322109, member: 23910"] It depends entirely on the house policy and which rule set you're using, because poker abhors standardised rule sets as much as nature abhors a vacuum :P Let's start with the relevant rule from [URL="http://people.brandeis.edu/~poker/rules.pdf"]Robert's Rules[/URL] (section 3, Betting and Raising, #10): [I][INDENT]Deliberately acting out of turn will not be tolerated. A player who checks out of turn may not bet or raise on the next turn to act. An action or verbal declaration out of turn may be ruled binding if there is no bet, call, or raise by an intervening player acting after the infraction has been committed. [/INDENT][/I] That doesn't actually tell you how to fix this. It [i]may[/i] be ruled binding if there was no bet, call or raise by an intervening player after it happened, but there was a raise. So... it depends? I also checked the [URL="https://www.crownmelbourne.com.au/getmedia/c530f215-e399-459e-b3d7-189c76f49b5d/1506-09-Crown-Melbourne-Casino-Poker-Rules-V13.pdf.aspx"]rules from my local casino[/URL], which are a good deal more comprehensive: [I][INDENT]6.18.2: If a player who should have acted prior to the out of turn player chooses to bet more than the out of turn bet, the player who acted out of turn can either make up the difference to call, or take back his/her bet and fold or re-raise.[/INDENT][/I] That's a bit more helpful, though it still doesn't cover this situation because Player 8 bet LESS than Player 9's out of turn bet. If I'm Player 8, by the way, I'd want to be getting a ruling on what the status of Player 9's bet would be before I acted. [B]As played it's just weird:[/B] did 8 make it $800 expecting that the $1500 would stand? If so then they're just going to have to make it $1500 total when the action gets back around to them anyway. Did they expect Player 9's bet to be reduced to $800? I don't know why they would, but if that was the case I assume it would've been worked out ahead of time and you wouldn't be asking this question. Or did they expect Player 9's bet to be taken back, and them be given the option to call raise or fold as if they'd never bet out of turn? I don't get it. If this was a genuine / one-off mistake, I'd be inclined to just remind Player 9 not to act out of turn in the future, take the bet back and then act of the hand based on the $800 bet to him. Side note: unless the big bling is less than $100, then $1500 should be a legal raise amount. If blinds were $50/$100, and player 8 raises to $800 then his raise is $700 (or less, if the blinds were higher - which I'm guessing they were based on the bet sizes). Subsequent raises then have to be at least $700. $800 + $700 = $1500. Which is a roundabout way of getting to the point that if you [b]do[/b] rule that Player 9's out of turn bet stands, it should stand at $1500. There's no reason he should have to make it $1600.
