Melb Champs Redic Ruling

[Al]

So it would work like this?

UTG raises with Aces, gets 3 callers, blinds fold. Flop dealt, UTG distracted for a moment; next 2 players notice this and deliberately bet out of turn. So UTG's Aces get folded?

This is far more unlikely than the UTG dude hiding his cards.

but the alternative is far worse.

Dont agree.

There is a reason its a widespread rule of poker.
