Re: Home game ruling

...So Now player 1 bets, before player 2 acts player 3 announces his action. This is a huge advantage to player 2 if the action is binding. But if the rule is that the action out of turn is not binding Player 2 no longer has this advantage and he is back where he should be -- unsure about what Player 3 will do.
Acting out of turn should not be tolerated, sure it will happen accidently from time to time, but if a player constantly does it, it is time to stop inviting him to the game.

The problem still remains that player 2 knows what player 3's likely intentions are. Even if you make Player 3's declaration non binding, player 2 still has the advantage of more information.
Technically, I don't believe the rules state the out of turn verbal declaratioon is bindng, but your game could be subjected to some serious angle shooting if you don't have some type of out of turn rule in place (and I need to address this issue as well in my rules).
