Re: Chopping (again)
Speaking as a Canterbury nit who doesn't chop at six-handed....
I wouldn't classify a 5% rake as "brutal." What frosts me is that if you take the flop heads-up with no raise, a buck comes out for the damned jackpot.
I always thought that when I started playing $15/30 or higher, I wouldn't chop. Well, I started playing those games a little over a year ago, and I found myself chopping. Not chopping is going to add to your fluctuations, and it may and may not add much to your EV. If you're on a small bankroll, you might keep on chopping. If I had a bigger bankroll, I probably wouldn't chop. If we paid time, I probably wouldn't chop.
Most of those guys chop. The few that don't tend to be either very good or very bad. And it's not like it comes up that much at $15/30, either.
