   IMO it would depend on the “intervening action”.

   Example. Let’s say he’s Player 5.

   Player 1 checks, Player 2 checks, Player 3 bets 100 then Player 5 goes all-in out-of-turn because Player 4 hasn’t acted yet.

   SO, we back the action back to Player 4 and either 2 things can happen: Either A) Player 4 can KEEP the action by either calling the 100 or folding. Or B) Player 4 can CHANGE the action by raising.

   The rule I’ve always used is that Player 5 is obligated to honor his all-in UNLESS the action changes to them. So, if Player 4 “keeps” the action the same then Player 5 is obligated to go all in.

   On the other hand, if Player 4 CHANGES the action, then Player 5 is released from his obligation and can either call the raise from Player 4, or re-raise, or fold.

   This is all per TDA Rule 30: “…Verbal declarations in turn are binding. Action out of turn may be binding
   and will be binding if the action to that player has not changed…”

   ok say the action stays the same til player 5(who went all in out of turn) do the players following player 5 have to meet his all in call or just the action call of 100? know this sounds silly but I have had several arguments abt this at our club thanks

   If the action didn’t change, and it gets to the player that made the verbal declaration, then the declaration is binding and it is treated just as if they made a normal, in order play from then on. So, of course, any players following must treat this as a standard all-in raise and fold, call (the all-in), or raise (above the all-in).

   Hey Thorn…

   The players following Player 5 absolutely have to call his all-in bet.

   THANK U ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP. one more question then I’ll get off this subject. IF a person ahead for the all in !!! does re-raise, it gives the dumb !!! the option of folding……… pls tell me his chips must stay in the pot..

   Thorny… I’m not sure I understand your question, but I’ll give you a couple scenarios, it’s probably one of them:

   1) A person “ahead” of the all-in re-raises. I assume this to mean that in my initial example, Player 4 raises the bet from Player 3. So player 3 bet 100 and let’s say Player 4 RAISES it to at least 200 total.

   In this case the out-of-turn Player 5 can definitely fold and IMO does NOT have to “leave his chips in the pot”.

   2) OR are you asking, for example, if Player 5 makes his out-of-turn all-in bet then immediately someone BEHIND him re-raises before the action can be properly backed-up to Player 4 ?

   In this latter case BOTH Player 5’s out-of-turn all-in and Player “6″ out-of-turn re-raise would be binding UNLESS when we back the action up to Player 4 where it rightfully belongs, Player 4 changes the action (currently 100 bet). As long as Player 4 does not change the action by RAISING, if he folds or calls the 100, then the action to both Players 5 and 6 has not changed and they are both obligated to stand by their bets, IMO.

   If this didn’t address your question, please re-phrase it.

   wow so if I am reading this correctly wow, if player 4 changes the action by a re-raise then player 5 (who did the out of turn all in) has the option of folding his hand and pulling his chips from the pot. hope this is phrased better thanks

   Yes, you’re reading it right.

   His initial out-of-turn bet was made un-intentionally (we presume), based on the assumption that it was 100 bet to him. If that bet changes, then his obligation to honor his out-of-turn declaration is removed.
