Chopping, do you? Would you?

[eddo31]

you can also effectively do it by exchanging points for merchandise that you would otherwise have an interest in, like the books or chip sets that they offer.

not exactly getting cash, but you do definitely get something of value.

i definitly wouldnt mind chopping if i was lower on chips than anyone else and they wanted to chop and it would bring my money count up.

I Think Chopping Is A Good Idea

If You Make It To The Money And Yall Chop Then All Come Out Ahead

I Would Do It

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.

i actually dont like when people offer chopping, i mean what happend to the good old tourneys when you just play and 1st place took the money that they deserved. i think people should just play it like a regular tourney and win whatever price they are supposed to. i always say no to chopping when someone offers it.
