Default Re: This Never Happened to Me Before - Ruling

"Protect Your Hand" means more than just putting a chip on them. It really means "Protect Your (Interest In The) Hand". This includes keeping your cards visible and speaking up if action skips you. Basically, if you're paying attention (as you should), this sort of thing should never happen to you. "You" being Seat 10, that is.

It boils down to the idea that you can't control others, but you can control yourself. If you protect your hand at all times, you will be shielded from the errors of others, and avoid a lot of problems.
