No real 'flak' DB, just a comment that guarding your cards is a vital part of LIVE play. Online the site does that for you, except for mis-clicks or site crashes that fold your (winning) hand. We don't get compensated for that site error...
 
On behalf of the dealer and as a frequent live player, there are a lot of things going on that can influence live play. In live tourneys, there are a number of tables active at one time, all playing the same game. Voices from all the tables mingle and can cause confusion, drink waitress disruptions, player discussions, general casino/card room noise and music interferes, etc. The reasons are countless that events happen live that do not happen online, and sometimes vice-versa.
 
The 'dead hand' and 'mucked cards' were put in the rules for a reason ... it can and does happen so decisions are already in place to handle whatever known, [I]regular[/I] problems occur.

This is the human element of live play that we deal with, just like the electrical/mechanical failure we all know happens online and no one gets compensated.
 
<edit> I think Stu and I are saying about the same thing here, he just has quicker fingers... ;)
