QFT. People do this just for the "excitement", or the "rush". I have a friend who squeezes his cards as slowly as possible every time. He does the same thing at 3-Card Poker. He is of course, by his own admission, a hopeless and degenerate gambling junkie.

okay buddy, keep looking at your cards and getting a hardon while you count the number of little colored shapes on the cards. hmmm, I dont know, maybe you should be using that time to be looking at other players instead of staring at your own cards; they're not gonna change no matter how long you stare at them. now that you mention it, every time i sweat a skilled player, he/she takes at least 10 seconds to identify his cards.
