Ken,
I understand that a certain amount of blame must fall on the skipped player for not speaking up. However, the skipped player was skipped by the player in violation of
TDA #34 by not acting in turn.
I also don't like the idea of using rule #1 when a dealer burns and turns before the last player acts...there should be no option, the board card can never stay.
I can see where your proposal would minimize the occasions where we redeal board cards on a checked round, but I don't like the reference of minimizing a skipped player; two chances to draw a favorable board card?
If a player is skipped on any betting round when facing a bet, (by at least one player) and the dealer taps, burns, and turns, the skipped players hand is dead!
If a player is skipped on any betting round that was checked to him, and he is not the last to act, and the dealer taps, burns and turns...that player has checked.
If a player is in the last position and the dealer taps, burns and turns...the board must be re-dealt.
