Floor!
here's a situation from a live game at foxwoods. what's your ruling?:
limit HE, 3 players in the pot, seats 8, 10 & 1, seat 8 is in the SB, the turn comes down:
after a couple of moments, 10 seat bets, 1 seat raises, now the action stops and 8 & 10 are talking. apparently 8 never acted and the dealer wasn't paying attention (shocker). 1 seat says "sorry, you're too late." the floor is called.
from the ensuing discussion it is clear that the 10 seat knows that the 8 seat hadn't acted, and may even have been the one to stop the action to ask the 8 seat. the dealer had nothing to add to the discussion.
your ruling?
in the end, the supervisor was called. it seems that foxwoods' rule is something like, "everyone must act on their own hand, in turn" without concern for significant action. all the action was undone. the 8 seat now checked, as did the 10 seat and the 1 seat bet. the 10 seat then went on to talk about how people use this rule in stud games all the time by betting out of turn when there is a new pair on board to gain information. lovely.
i wonder how this would go over in the big no-limit game there?
