It's already hard enough to get good pokes, making it harder will only dissuade newer players from playing. Not smart to cater exclusively to the minority 10,000 hour crowd, you dont wanna be left with just that.
I dont see this as a good move for PRO at all, the "benefits" are INCREDIBLY minor and the cons are colossal.
For the good of PRO as a whole... hard, hard NO from me.
