Actually, in a tournament type setting (ie when you aren't good friends with the
guy) I sincerely suggest you stay away from excessive sound effects. I have a
friend who makes sound effects constantly. We were on a 7 hour pull out (All you
pack-rats out there imagine your basement. Now imagine it soaking in sewage. Now
imagine having to clean it up. That was our job) anyway, during this 7 hour job
(it took 7 hours) he was constantly making noises, sound effects for handing boxes
around, walking, whatever. If I wasn't Canadian I'd have broken his nose (Well, he
woulda broken mine, he could kick my ass any day of the week, twice on tuesdays)

Anyway, to sum it up, unless the other guy is making sound effects don't. And
never make them when you are winning. People get annoyed by the littlest things
when they lose (at least, sometimes I do)
