Re: I\'ve finally discovered the value in chip shuffling
Partly because I'm not terribly co-ordinated (although I can juggle 3 objects), partly because I don't want to provide any reason to think I might be good, and partly because I'm lazy I don't shuffle.
In fact, the rare times I try it live, I usually end up looking goofy, so I guess that helps. I used to look at chip shufflers/trickers and think "warning flag! be careful until you learn more." but now overwhelming experience has left me with "likely TV watching donkey. Exploit at will."

Re: I\'ve finally discovered the value in chip shuffling
The only chip trick I have completely mastered is the one where they disappear from my stack. This is usually accomplished by three betting into the nuts. Amazingly, it works every time.

Re: I\'ve finally discovered the value in chip shuffling
I can do the center drop and spin move because I sit in front of the computer for a few hours a day and play. I've actually gotten pretty good at it.
I feel really uncomfortable doing it at a B&M table because then I look like a tool who spends way too much time in a poker room and draws attention to myself. I prefer to not show skills that indicate a poorly spent youth when I'm trying to collect opponents chips. If someone is showing off with their 'too many hours in a poker room' skills, I generally try to show how inept I am and outwardly marvel at their skill. It's been worth a few big bets for me.

Re: I\'ve finally discovered the value in chip shuffling
Yeah, I really didn't want to start for fear of looking like a tard or having the table think differently of me. But I think it's more -EV for me to get bored, so I didn't have much of a choice.
