That is a great time to practice handling poker chips. Playing live, it doesn't impress me when people are shuffling chips. Personally, I have no intrest in doing that live.


Handling chips, stacking them, cutting off piles... so that when you go to put in your bet you at least have some experience.
But as far as riffling the chips goes ('shuffling' chips) or other chip tricks, I don't do any of this at a live table. Why would I want to 'look like' an experienced chip riffler at the table? Personally I want to give the other players the impression that I am not overly experienced. And honestly the chip tricks do nothing for me. Admittedly there was a time (a dozen years ago) that I had some chips by my computer & taught myself how to riffle the chips. (there's videos online to show you how to do it, lol). This lasted all of a couple days. Doesn't interest me.

I just wanted to ask, am I the only person who's doing tricks with poker chips while playing online? You know, it helps me to relax and concentrate on the game. I've noticed that my skill is getting higher and higher, also, I've learned how to do new tricks, what about you?

Of course... chips while playing online!! Thank you for reminding me about that! :D

I've always wanted to try that. How could I forget about poker chips?! I guess it helps to focus on the game, and maybe relax.

It may be that I don't really trust people in general, but whenever I see two or more people doing chip tricks in the same table, I always imagine they're illegally passing information to each other... I mean IT COULD HAPPEN.. Right?

No, I'm usually smoking something of some sort when I run deep in a tourney. Cash games require both hands to function lol

during a poker game I only recently began to force myself to look after my rivals, and usually I read news or videos or watch various things, in short, not with what I need

Chips are always on the table. Previously, I learned a couple of tricks, and mechanically did them, but now I stopped it. Distracts from the game.

I do not think that you can improve your game. The chips are played frivolously.

After I learned the tricks, I found a mushy stressball was more effective.

Yep. I keep them on a couple of mouse-pads, nice and spongy. They're like the "ben-wai-balls" of the felt.

I have always "shuffled" a stack of chips since I first started playing online back in 04-05ish. Watching the WPT and seeing everyone playign with the chips gave me the urge to go out and get a chipset. It just adds to the feeling of playing poker ! I think it also can be a sort of stress / anxiety reliever and allow you to be patient

Good way to get yourself more into the game, didn't think of that cause I don't have those but I'd guess it helps.

I'm so addicted to it I'm often shuffling chips when doing anything as simple as browsing twitter. I've always got clay on my fingers
