Problem is that you have to mail the support and they will come to the table. If there was a chop button I would start thinking about doing it.

Based on the few turbos I have played the blinds escalate so fast that you probably would lose time if you chopped.

In that case you're probably right... it does not sound faster...

Well, the one time this year it happened to me, the other player was a very respectable player and the blinds were very high. We agreed to the chop and then agreed that the winner would send 2nd place finisher the difference in the cash between 1st and 2nd place. We then just both pushed until we had a winner.

Took a measure of trust in the other player rather than rely upon support, but it worked out just fine for me in this instance and was much quicker than having to contact support.

I've done this a few times...was it you?! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Question for Pokerstars regulars
 

it happens quite often at the higher levels when two respected people play HU who can trust eachother. They simply go all in and winner transfers loser the difference.

If you feel you are the better player, a chop would be incorrect.

That would be cool as hell. Like you could start a vote, and it'd have to be unanimous. Provided it was, the purse would be split.

So I'm playing a SnG and once it is HU the other guy asks if I want to chop? That happens often?

[/ QUOTE ]

I used to do it frequently. The reason was that I could only play two stars tables at one time on the computer that I had, and that heads up battles on Stars can last a looooooong time. I had one go for over 100 hands once. It was crazy. I just wanted to chop and get another game started.

Re: Question for Pokerstars regulars
 

I've chopped maybe five times at levels $27-$109. I usually take the chop if the other guy wants it and I have many tables running. I have never done it through support, but I've always received the split.

There is not much you can do if you don't get the money so you have to trust the other guy or ask if you can do the exhange.
If I don'f feel I have an edge it's nice to chop with big blinds.

Not exactly.. sometimes in the Turbo SNGs, both opponent's are handicapped due to the gigantic blinds. I'd be willing to chop if it was just going to be a crapshoot.

I do it all the time
