What do you do while your opponent is making his decision?

I'm more accustomed to online play than live, so I worry about giving tells because of inexperience. Hence, whenever I'm in a hand and the action is on the other guy, I lean forward slightly (for comfort), keep totally stonefaced, and burn a hole in one of the board cards.

Seems to work ok.

If it works, don't **** it up by changing it!

The best thing to do is the same thing, whether it's burning a hole in the felt with your eyes while he is in the tank or shouting "Who's your daddy now, b!tch" and begin the Unibomber stare down after you bet.

Personally, I just play with my chips like a 6-year old with ADD whenever it's not my turn. Even though I am paying close attention, I will sometimes wait for the dealer to prompt me for action just to keep the aloof image going. It probably doesn't work, but it keeps me from getting bored (and probably actually giving off a tell).
