When playing in our home game I don't bother with chip tricks anymore. Everyone I play with is used to seeing me do them and has no affect on them. However, when playing in a tournament that a local radio station puts on I do shuffle them. People get intimidated when seeing this. I don't know why they do but it happens. They get more focused on trying to learn to shuffle chips and forget about the cards in front of them.

I've started trying to do cip tricks, but I can't do much other than shuffle.

For me, it's less an "intimidation" play than just being bored at the table. Dutch said something about intimidating players because he can do chip tricks, they'll think he has played a lot, etc. What happens when he runs into someone with a chip trick he can't do? Does HE get intimidated?

No, but that guy sure won't be intimidated by Dutch.

I dont know any sites to help out, but I sure appreciate the ones you posted

Even though it might just help my game more to distract my opponents by making them laugh at me looking stupid when my chips splatter all around me

If I didn't play with my chips at the table I would pull my hair out.

I definitely want to learn the tricks so that I can show the guys at my home game.
