How to Avoid Acting Out of Turn During Poker

Another form of bad poker etiquette, is acting out of turn. Now acting out of turn can be accidental, or it could be deliberate. If it was accidental, it will usually get looked over, and the dealer will let you know, "hey, don't do that again". But it is the players responsibility to be aware of the action of the table, and know when it is their turn to act and when it is not. Another way it could happen is if it was deliberate. Let's look at the table here right quick. And as you can see the cards are dealt out, the flop has come out, and the player in seat two has bet two dollars. I'm over here, I'm either disgusted with the hand, or I'm disgusted with the last hand that was on the table, I got beat and I muck my cards and I fold out of turn. When it wasn't my turn, because the action was on the player in seat three. This gives away information to the other players at the table. Now he knows that I'm not going to call. If he were to call and I were to call, his odds in the pot would be a lot better. Now he knows I'm not going to call, so his pot odds would be a little bit less. So, I've given away information by folding out of turn. Which is bad poker etiquette. So, be aware of when its your turn to act. And if your on tilt at the table, step away and come back when you've calmed down.
