I found a bunch of this information usefull, great reading for a B&M newbe..

I also used to look at my cards when it was my turn to act. That was untill my 3rd trip ever I had Kings facing a raise. I looked up to see every person at the table staring me down. It made it so much harder to control my actions. I found out later the first raiser had QQ and got away after looking at me for about 15 seconds.

Now I sneek a peek whenever I think no one is looking. If I'm UTG I try to look quick (maybe 1 at a time) while the hands getting dealt out. Someone is probley stacking chips from the last pot, others are checking their own hands, small talk, ect.
