I can see both sides of this I suppose. I mean Daniel is right, it is part of the game, and players should be able to use all of their arsenal of moves to their advantage.

However, in this poker age of huge fields with amateur qualifiers, you would have people flipping cards all over the place, throughout the hand, trying to be like Daniel or whatever. It would be a total nightmare for the floor, especially in the ME, and I can certainly see why they don't want to deal with it (not to mention them having to send people to the rail constantly for violating the rule...that's not good for the tournament.) I guess I just don't have any faith in today's average tournament player to be intelligent or respectful enough to use this rule as it was intended.
