Just a random thought; why do we chip shuffle? I have become addicted to shuffling chips, even do it at home let alone at a table. Looked online but can't find a straight answer, anyone know why?

I believe its too calm players nerves.....another way of taking there mind of the game.
I just wish it didn't exist. Too much noise! No wonder so many players use headphones.
Because we all have obsessive compulsive personalities, that's why we're poker players!
i cant do it. but i havent really tired that much. im sure if i practice i can get it down.
YouTube video is how I learned. Il fenomeno Ronaldo "palleggia" con una chip - PokerStars.it TV Spot - YouTube Quite sure this video is fake, but it would be sick if it was real.
What else is there to do that doesn't distract you from the game. Its a pretty boring game to begin with. Fold fold fold.
Some just do it to keep busy while waiting for a hand or for something to do. Plus, a lot do it because we saw player doing it on wpt episodes and wsop episodes.
like some one else said to calm nerves i dont do it just stare straight ahead
I started doing it when I realized that my fingers would twitch in live games when I was bluffing. Couldn't control the twitch, so as long as I keep shuffling, you can't see that I'm twitching. Now it's just habit. Decided to play two short live tourneys a few weeks ago without shuffling. Got through it, no twitching anymore, but damn it was like quitting smoking - I just wanted to shuffle the chips all the time.
I am one that does it, but at the same time doesn't like the noise factor as well.
Just something to do, while there is nothing to do.Quote:

I haven't learned how to do it because everyone else knows how. I only touch my chips when I am placing a bet
Haha this is a funny post. No one really knows why, everyone just does it.
it makes you a way better player yo should definitely do it
you should be more concerned on your playing the game than you are with shuffling chips
shuffling poker chips does nothing for u lol, I mean its not intimidating
