First of all, I do not chop. Not that I wouldn't, if the situation arose, but I do not play in games where chops can occur. Why would you? 9 handed and no one can find some trash worth playing? That my friend is not a game to play in.

I also challenge the three bet or fold from the first hand. I think three betting MAY make the hand HARDER to play at times. Often three betting will tie you to show down, but cold calling can allow you to float in and out of the hand.
