Actions made out of turn are not binding in any casino I've played in.

Player 4 has fall his options in both cases.

poker needs a rule book... esp if it wants to be categorized as a sport...

"Poker" is not a living entity. It is incapable of "wanting" to be anything.

Besides, every venue already has written rules. Perhaps what you meant to say was, "Poker needs a central governing body."

OTOH, it's not like all sports have one set of rules or governing body. Take golf. The USGA, PGA and R&A all have differences in some rules.

Oh, one other thing. Poker is not a sport. "Sports" by definition require some form of complex physical motor skill. Poker does not (chip tricks don't count).

Yes. That's what I interpreted to get to my (and Kurn's) answer to Zy's question. Now I will invoke the golden rule of talkingpoker. If you answer a question and Kurn agrees with your answer, then you are correct and the thread should be locked!

Giving a natural-born bullshitter like me that much power, is clearly over the top.
