This hand happened at my B&M casino in a 40/80 Stud8 hand in XYZ. A clown in a smallish pot catches a Ten to compliment his Ace, and bets, there is a fold, and someone who caught an off-suit Q with his deuce calls reluctantly, the other player in the pot is showing a Six and an Ace, has four chips out and is ready to call, but a clown interrupts, "Don't be shy, X", and before you know it it's a raise! The other player in the middle complains to the floor, which gives the clown a warning which is all and good, except he has a history of doing exactly this. The clowny character later explains another day that s/he was making sure that the other player was aware that it was his turn.
add: The clown had a split pair of aces in the hand, and welcomed a raise on 4th. Though he did not explicitly say, "I welcome a raise, X", he put some creative energy into his words.

Deliberately acting out of turn.
Deliberately splashing chips into the pot.
Agreeing to check a hand out when a third player is all-in.
Reading a hand for another player at the showdown before it has been placed faceup on the table.
Telling anyone to turn a hand faceup at the showdown.
Revealing the contents of a live hand in a multihanded pot before the betting is complete.
Needlessly stalling the action of a game.
Deliberately discarding hands away from the muck. Cards should be released in a low line of flight, at a moderate rate of speed (not at the dealer's hands or chip-rack).
Stacking chips in a manner that interferes with dealing or viewing cards.
Making statements or taking action that could unfairly influence the course of play, whether or not the offender is involved in the pot.
Using a cell phone at the table.

Floor people, dealers, and players who read 2p2, what are your takes on this hand, and how it applies to the influencing action and one-player-per-hand rules given that the opponent has a history of doing this kind of thing?
