if it's a 5-10 dollar decision in a limit game, just decide one way or the other.

a $150 decision on the turn or river in NL game... ok.

You should be aware that money has different value to different people.

How people handle their chips is one of the best "tells" in all the world.

How people stack chips when they bet, how often people shuffle, how people shuffle when they are in a hand/ have monster/ ect... ect... ect...

I say play on with those chips and chip tricks.

Shuffling potato chips is not very amazing.

actually, I'd be damn impressed with shuffled potato chips... they're not uniformly sized, and they're extra thin.

but then again, you'd be ruining them, so it'd probably just anger me more.

If you are a winning player then you must realize that all these chip tricks and drama are bringing great customers to the game. Great customers who are paying a big edge for the pleasure of acting out their TV fantasy against you.

If you want to offer them a cold hard transactional experience stick to online poker.

Blind response. I can't wait to read the replies.

That's actually quite a difficult trick to master, but I've done it. And I sometimes do it at the poker table. Why? I don't know. Just because. Not to impress anyone, that's for sure. No one is impressed.

Shuffling chips? Makes noise you say? Tough. Get some earplugs if it bothers you that much. I'll do what I feel like doing at the poker table with my chips.

Who knows? Maybe I stop shuffling when I have a monster or shuffle extra fast when I'm bluffing. At the limits I play, no one is paying attention anyway. You, however, the expert player you are, might be able to pick up a tell or two about a person's hand based on their shuffling technique at the moment. Or do you not look for these things?

Who cares anyway? Have you ever had a nervous wreck sitting right next to you who can't stop bouncing his friggin leg for 5 hours straight. Drives you batty. Or the fat ass 385 pound slob that hasn't showered for a week on your right.

There are many annoying things at a poker table and now, sir, you are one of them.
