By doing so the player may signal to partner how
many ards are held in the suit. This habit should
be rule illegal and penalized.

Club games are filled with weaker players who don't know better about
the information they convey other than from their bids. However, I
usually get far more useful information in return than I give up.

Like those that peel the King off the end of their hand - it's obvious
they haven't got the Ace.

Well, it is unethical to look from where an opponent or partner takes a card
from his/her hand. Still, I know many players do it but I have never called
a TD because of that.

I have a habit (annoying to others?) of stacking my cards in my hand and
rearranging occasionally for no reason, whether as declarer or as defender.
I have been told by some people (not law experts or TD's) that this
rearranging is unethical. Would be curious to know opinions on that and why
it would be unethical.
