Four Simple Poker Chip Tricks

You are on top of your poker game. You have all the skills and savvy you need to out smart your fellow gamers. However you are lacking one thing; you really are a tad bit too serious and you do not look cool in front of the rest of the poker players.

I am sure you have seen the regulars on Wednesday night TV. They play effortlessly with their poker chips. The butterfly, roll and shuffle are done with nonchalance and they give the impression of being hip players.

Looking cool is what poker is about. The people who play think a lot of themselves; they try their best to give the impression of being classy players. A common way to do this is to do a few tricks with your poker chips. Here are a few easy ones that you can easily get the hang of.

The Pullover

This move is the predecessor to the shuffle. First you get a stack of about 6 to 8 poker chips and place your hand over them with your thumb and pointer finger on one side and the rest of your fingers on the opposite side. Now lift half the stack and set it to the side and with one swift motion, use your thumb and pointer finger to bring the poker chip stack that was left behind up and on top of the other stack. Easy cheesy.

The Finger Flip

This one's useful for suck outs. First extend your arm, then extend your middle finger... just kidding. The finger flip is a relatively easy trick where you flip one poker chip over a small stack of poker chips that you're holding. It's easiest if you start with three chips.

So how do you do this? Take a small stack of 3 chips in your hand. Place your forefinger and thumb in the center of the chip, with the rest of your fingers at the side. Using these fingers glide the back 2 chips downwards using your thumb to support them and prevent them from falling. When they slip down make the front chip jump to the back with your forefinger. Remember that this little ploy takes some practice, so perfect it before you show it off to your friends.

The beauty of these two poker chip tricks is that they're simple and repetitive so you can sit at the table and fiddle with your chips to your hearts content. When you get really good at this, we'll move on to lesson two: Irritating your friends for fun and profit.
