A very interesting ethics situation and a Bellagio Floor ruling

[PokherJoe]

The other day I was dealing a hand (1-3 NL) and a guy bet out of turn, the guy who was skipped asked how much the bettor had, then checked, they guy who origionally bet then wanted to check, I called the floor knowing what the floor would say, of course the bet still stands.

The rules are not made for kharmic reasons or to try to screw people out of money. They are made to make the game as fair as possible, are they all as fair as fair as they could be, maybe not.

But with any game, I dont care if its bowling or basketball, there are rules to the games that apply to all who play. Pay attention to the rules, and to the game in general. Its your fault if you didnt know that saying "call" out of turn means that you have to call what the other player bets.

Dont hate the player hate the game. And if you think a rule is unfair, try to petition to get it changed.
