EDIT: THIS IS FOR A HOME GAME TOURNEY
Got a newer player in my home game. In our previous event there was a player all-in and he and another player had called. The new guy says "I'll check it down if you will" and I was like "wooooahh, no no no, you can't say that"
I've been fortunate in not having had to deal with a player like this before in my home game (I know, the odds are astronomical!) but I explained he can't do that and didn't issue any sort of penalty.
I've got another game tonight and he's attending. IF it happens again, how would you guys handle it? I'm thinking my best options are:
1. his hand is immediately declared dead and any chips he's committed to the pot are forfeit
2. Same as #1 but also a one-round penalty where he has to fold all his hands for one rotation at the table
3. Just the one-round penalty
