How many chips do you shuffle? (4 Viewers)

[Taghkanic]

12-16, depending on the type of chip. I can do more but it seems like overkill. With 10 or fewer, I feel underdressed.

 

[RichMahogany]

Can do 20 but prefer 14 or 16

 

[MG20]

10 is perfect for me.

 

[DoubleEagle]

0. Never bothered to learn.

12, 14, or 16 depending on how broken in the chips are. Drives me nuts when I pick up an odd stack that I thought was even and start shuffling.

Ugh. Tired of eating gruel

I’m right handed, but have been working on my lefty shuffling skillz. Getting there but not great. Anyone else ambidextrous?

 

[SWEATER]

8 is great!

I can't breathe underwater, but I can shuffle chips with either hand.

When I first learned to shuffle chips, it took me a while to learn with my right hand. I watched a youtube video, and worked on it for an hour or more before I could shuffle 8, maybe 10. Then I thought I'd move on to my left hand, thinking it would take even longer, but that came almost instantaneously. I figured it was because my brain already learned how to train a hand to shuffle chips.

I shuffle chips with my left hand about 90% of the time. While I'm in a game, I shuffle with my left, and bet with my right. When I'm sitting at my desk, I use the mouse with my right hand, so the stack of chips is in my left.

12-16 depending on the chips. Fewer for ceramics, more for clays.

Shuffle with my right hand, only with smaller chips I plan to eventually bet with. I rarely cut out bets from my stack. I shoot them in directly from my shuffle.

Lately my thing has been shuffling a stack into the top a a barrel. A little harder but it looks cooler.

 

[derekdd23]

12 because I can make 2 even stacks of 6 or 3 stacks of 4.

 

[pltrgyst]

One. I'm old.

 

[MattinIdaho]

My 13 year old shuffles 12 with ease. I struggle with 8.

I can shuffle as well with either hand. I'm right handed, but I'm far better at other chip tricks with my left hand. Odd.

Thanks to David O for adding the poll.

I generally top out at 14. One more and it's like I've never handled chips in my life!

 

[Big Money]

between 16 - 20 depending on the chip

 

[RowdyRawhide]

I can do 10 reliably, 12 about 80% of the time, i get a double at the top on most of the misses.

Have been consistent enough with 16 recently to say 16, so 16...

 

[James McGill]

3 is my sweet spot.

 

[detroitdad]

Today , only 10. Normally 16.

 

[Taghkanic]

It really depends on how worn the chips are. If they have smoothed-down edges, I’ll try to shuffle as many as possible just for fun. If minty, usually 8-10.

But generally I don’t find more than a dozen too comfortable for a long session.

 

[kaimat]

I want to meet some of these 20 "or more" people. What kind of Hulk-like hands do you have?

 

[Coyote]

Same here, regarding intercourse duration minutes

 

[allforcharity]

If I try real hard I might be able to shuffle two using both hands

 

[shorticus]

I agree with the idea that 12-16 is ideal, but I try and keep my shuffle stacks in 10 because they store away easily.

 

[pltrgyst]

One, but that's not an option in your poll. We shuffling-challenged people deserve equal time!

To tell the truth, I usually spin it more than I shuffle it...

 

[Marhault]

10, but only if I'm NOT at a poker table. I never shuffle chips at a table simply because I feel like every swinging dick on the planet thinks they're cool by doing it. Every game I sit and watch the worst poker players in the world shuffle stacks of chips, and lose several hundred dollars...but man they look cool!

I do fidget when I play, so to take up the nervous energy I spin my card capper unless its in place then I spin or flip a chip.
