Felicia made a great point in her comment to the chip trick post below - one can gain a positive edge by underplaying one's skills. Shuffling chips affords me an activity while playing online which will keep me from biting my nails - LOL! In reality I find all the "chip posturing" you see on the WPT and the WSOP to be quite humorous, Dutch Boyd's WSOP diatribe taking the cake - hence my chip post. I have yet to play in a B&M, but I would imagine that the noise factor of those chips being manipulated, riffled, stacked & re-stacked could drive a person crazy!
So, as Felicia proposes, fly under the radar with your superior skills, but, perhaps, at the end of the day, as you are stacking all the chips your opponents have relinquished to you, thankful that you won't be there to ask AGAIN - "a strait beats 3 of a kind, right?" - shuffle a stack or two, give some chips a twirl, smile and give the table a wink as you stand and walk away...
