Selective chopper

I sat to the right of someone who chopped blinds or didn't chop based on the strength of his hand. What strategy adjustments are required?

The best strategy is to sit on his left and refuse to chop.

Sitting on his right is bad spot to be in.

Get a seat change button.

Other than that, it's hard to say without knowing if you were on the left or right.

I did ask for a seat change.

As I said I was on his right.

He has to act first right? If he doesn't want to chop he has something, so I would play tighter. And if he wants to chop he has garbage so refuse, then raise him and bet the flop. Occasionally chop when you have garbage also so he doesn't catch on. If he's giving you information you might as well use it.

Either I'm a retard, or you edited that post. Or both.

If I really did miss that the first time, I'm sorry. Now I have to think of an answer. [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

i'm sitting in the 10-20 game, i'm sitting to the left of the selective chopper. He recently chopped with the person sitting to his right....now the next hand I'm the BB, so I'm assuming he'll chop with me if the situation arrises...

everyone folds to him and he raises.....

I say to him..... " I thought you chop."

He says, "I'm sorry no.......not this hand."

So i honestly don't even care....but i'm trying to create a fuss...with to him to make him nervous......

I say, "I thought you said, you chop, you chopped with her before, now you don't chop."

the whole table bursts in laughter.....

meanwhile he's getting nervous...

I look down and see.....94o.

I fold, but I honestly wanted to take an extra $5 chip and flick it into his eye just on principal.

The next time I sit next to him, I'll be sure to be on his...immediate right.....i'll glady agree to chopping.....before the flop.....

if the situation arises...and he says "chop"......you can be sure you'll know what i'm going to do.

"What strategy adjustments are required? "

None, you just don't chop with him. Pretty simple.

If someone does this to me, I just assume they have a big hand when they don't want to chop and fold if I don't also have a big hand. I then don't chop with that person again.

Good luck,
play well,
