It's always the guy nearest the dealer's left
....except that in the 1st round the blinds have already bet so it's the
next guy after them.
So, in later rounds, it's the small blind who speaks first - unless he's
folded, in which case the big blind, unless he's folded too, in which
case... clockwise.

well, there is the problem that exists in home games. the deal moves
to the left and the dealer calls the game. when, on occasion, the
dealer calls hold'em (or omaha), he is putting himself in the best
position. dealers who call 7 card stud (for example) are not availing
themselves of this advantage. to mitigate the problem (a little) we
use the method the original poster mentions. one left of the dealer
bets preflop (there are no blinds), two left of the dealer bets on the
flop, three left bets on the turn and four left bets on the river.
This decreases the sealer's positional incentive to call hold'em.

but you are holding a hold'em tournament, so you should have no
problem with the positional advantage to the dealer.

We eliminate that edge in our home game by having each player deal one
hand of the game selected. But that has its disadvantages... we have one
moron that insists on calling night time baseball.
