Card Protectors -- No content

Yeah, that's pretty bad; if the action gets to me that fast, I don't worry about the protector unless I'm going to play the hand. But if I'm 2nd or later to act, I consider it my responsibility to do my level best not to give away my intentions before it's my action. So I try to do the same thing every time, and that includes protecting my cards until I act.

But there is no need to cap your cards before the action comes to you pre-flop. There is no danger in the dealer going from seat 5 and then seeing you in seat 10 with no card protector so he suddenly takes your cards before returning to see what seat 5 decides to do.
