People tell me that all the time. I never believe them and the tell is among the most reliable, a lot of people especially older/live only players get the shaking hands=nuts tell and it tends to be 100% reliable
One thing to consider is if you learn to tense your muscle between your elbow and hand in just the right way you can make your hand shake and look identical (I find this easiest to do with my right hand personally) and you can balance out the real tell with an identical looking fake tell. You'll need to keep your other arm off the table as I can personally at least only do this with one arm at a time
I don't actually have the shaking hands = nuts tell personally, but it's a good fake tell to have in your arsenal. The muscle i'm referring to is the triceps brachii I think according to google.
As previous posters have said it's an adrenalin thing, as you play more and getting a big hand becomes less exciting and more normal because you've seen it a lot it should pass, but until then i'd recommend learning to mimic the adrenalin reaction and to do that with all of your hands in spots where a potential big hand gets there to balance
