Chip Tricks / Table Presence

I can do the
shuffle, butterfly, twirl, double butterfly with a 9th chip to connect, knuckle roll and a few more modifications of these.

Doing these at a live game. Does it increase your table presence?

I don't do these at the table to show off the just happen / natrual for me to do em.

If you perform a chip trick during a big hand, the opponents might show you some respect. But if you just focus on your chip tricks, you'll become ridiculous.

I think chip tricks are more of a focus device for energy to keep it from coming out in tells

It shows you have alot of time on your hands, j/k. I usually only shuffle my chips while I'm at the table and focus on the game. I don't worry about doing any other tricks.

I don't care what you do with them prior to sending them my direction. I would think yes you are noticed more at the table performing your chip tricks, but being able to do them or not does not qualify you as the player you are. While some would take notice, admire and ask for lessons in that department I'm far more interested and taking note of how you play the game.

Chip tricks are interesting but tells me zero about playing ability. I amm "chip challenged" have tried it here at home and can't do it to save my life lol. I am good at creating good looking stacks when I am going well though.
But establishing a table presence can go a long way. Thats why the online game can be so frustrating, at least half the players are doing so many things that they would never notice.
Live there are so many little things you can do to establish yourself in the image you want them to percieve.
I have a little joke I often tell at the table early in a tournament, I will say "It takes me three drinks to play AQ from the button". I get a few laughs and we play on. Blinds go up a little and I make a raise with marginal cards and they can't get out of the way fast enough.
Online I can fold 23 str8 times preflop then raise with KK from early pos. and I will get called by J-8 from middle pos. and he flops two pair lol.

Well I can do the allemande, a bit of ballet, the can-can, the flamenco, the Lambeth Walk, a mexican hat dance, the quickstep, the samba and a lovely waltz.

It makes me think that the player is an experienced live player, to be that familiar and confident with chips...

When I was in AC a couple of weeks ago I did the chip trick you never want to pull off. I made them all vanish lol.
