You will have to forgive me, I don't know what those abreviations are. I can figure out the situation because the action was head's up. I would tell the out of turn bettor that it was not his bet and the correct bet of 26 be the wager. This is interesting because substantial action would be tough to call with two players, wouldn't it? The out of turn bettor must understand that he can not benefit in any way by his action. In my opinion, he may reduce his 30 down to 26, or he could even raise, but I would not allow him to retract his complete bet unless he was mislead by the dealer or it was completely unintentional. If he becomes a repeat offender, I would even allow the opposing player to raise his out of turn bet. Think about how this action could disrupt any game. I was dealing a 7 card stud ($10 and $20) game once and after dealing the last card down to the two remaining players, the player with the high board said " I check and call," while tossing $20 into the pot. The other player just looked at me with a look of confusion on his face. I knew what he did was wrong but, how do you explain it? I told him he could not do that, and he said "why not?" I told him that his action was deliberate and if he repeats that action again, I would even allow an opposing player to raise his out of turn bet. There are rules for out of turn bettors. In my opinion they don't need that much explaination....Out of turn is not allowed, so when a player acts out of turn, there WILL be consiquences, not we might do this, or we might do that, or you may, or may not be liable for your action. Take a stand, be firm, especially when the action is intentional. A player who thought that it was their turn to bet and bets by mistake, or is mislead by the dealer is a different situation, isin't it? I think you will know the difference. Remember to always consider the intent of the player. Some players have a reputation for making those moves, so act accordingly.
