i used to be one of the 'no-chop' crowd, but have since modified my stance...

as part of my poker education process, i've been regularly observing the $100/$150/$300 buyin tourneys on stars (as well as the big weekly/monthly one), and i've seen the regular number of chops there.

most of the time, if the final, say, 3-4, are not outside of the 10-20% stack diff ratio among themselves, more or less, they will chop based on stack size and leave X to the winner. mostly, if the remaining prize pool is in 5 digits, they will leave 1K to the winner, and if it is in 6 digits (like the weekly/monthly big one), they will leave 10K.

this formula makes the best sense to me, chop-wise. simple and easy for everyone to understand, not to mention fair.
