I know what DN is talking about and I'd guess I'm susceptible to this, but doubt I've ever been exploited by it.

I look at the opposite corners of the cards as soon as I get them, then wait my turn to look at the actual values. This way, I'll know something about my hand and get excited about the possibilities.

For example, if I look at two "none across" cards, I know I've got aces 1/11 times. Awesome! Same for looking at two paint cards, it's 3/11 that I've got a big pocket pair. Looking at a none-across and a paint could be AK and could be J2.

Playing live is really boring to me compared with playing 4 tables at once online. It's kinda stupid, but it passes time.
