Re: Decision at WPT Gulf Coast Championship FT

When the BB says "Raise" out of turn, how can that be binding when he does not know the bet he faces? When he likely thought Edler called?

My feeling is that it's every player's responsibility to know the action in front of them before they act. If they weren't paying attention and/or didn't bother to ask...too bad. If they were told by the dealer incorrect action or amount...that's different and the verbal wouldn't be binding.
It just seems that some of these rulings are really encouraging people to act out of turn...why not if you're not going to be bound by it. You can act out of turn, influence the action before you...then get a do over when it's your turn?
Maybe this comes from where I first started playing. There... if you acted out of turn you were (almost always) bound to it...if your money went over the line it stayed in the pot...period.
