I am not really upset with the non-choppers as much as I feel they are just wasting my time.

Some people don't get to play live poker often and they want to play. Who cares about the $1 or $2. I'll do whatever the other guy wants (chop or not chop) but I don't get worked up or offended if the other guy wants to play.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00428255574369015867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-18208189904167013672018-12-17T13:12:01.136-08:002018-12-17T13:12:01.136-08:00I've seen many players say they will not chop ...I've seen many players say they will not chop if the table is short-handed and I understand that.

At that point it would be chops every other hand which is boring an pointless. But if it's a relatively full table I agree to whatever my fellow blind member wants to do. I offer the chop and go along. <br /><br />I agree with you about Grand Lux. When I go with my wife we always go there. The portions are big enough that we can split a pasta dish. (I always make sure to tip the server a litle extra though since we are being skinflints on the entree.)JT88Keyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14030012435363552208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-35864264859248945592018-12-17T08:22:39.590-08:002018-12-17T08:22:39.590-08:00Oh I get ya.

In tournament situations I would definitely do that--and have. But then it's to gain chips and not thwart a chop blocker.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-11644507913683865502018-12-17T06:46:35.061-08:002018-12-17T06:46:35.061-08:00Meant to thwart the guy not chopping.

Just chop and move onto the next hand.
