Obviously you don't play NL. Your solution is ineffective, and creates more gaps than it fills.

When someone calls out of turn, it's not as easy as 'just go all-in, and he'll fold'. According to your 'rule', I'd be calling prematurely the <u>majority</u> of rivers that I am bet into. And there's no sarcasm there, there's very little downside to it and this would be one of the best angles ever.

$25 in the pot, out of a $500 bet.

'I call'

Ok sir, you can fold and leave your $25, or you can bet more and the gentlemen that called out of turn gets the option to fold if you add more.

Of course, if bettors simply placed their chips forward in a continuous motion or even more simply just stated an amount, none of this Hollywood crap would happen.
