It's very much a habit of mine to shuffle my chips, but usually the only others who would pick up on something like this are other people....playing with their chips. Maybe not.

Anyone who is halfway observant at the table is noticing this. In effect, you're announcing to the table that you play a lot of poker. If this is the table image you're looking for, great. IMO, you're giving away information for nothing, though (at least at a low limit table).

Good thought. Most of the players I play with during live games/tourneys I play with on a regular basis, so they know I play a lot of poker. Would it be better to show a stronger table image during tournament to perhaps stop someone from trying to steal your blind? Or look like a bumbling idiot during a ring game? Is there a difference?
