Nate\'s rules for chopping
1. If you're in a game* where almost everybody chops, then chop. However, if you're in a game where a substantial number of people (say 25%) play, even if a majority of people chop, then play.
2. If you don't know the game well enough to determine the general chop/play disposition, then assume that almost everybody chops if the stakes are 30/60 or lower, but that a substantial number of people play if the stakes are higher than 30/60.
3. Always play if the game is 5-handed or less, regardless of rules #1 and #2.
4. Play rather than chop your BB if you're playing rather than chopping your SB, regardless of rules #1-#3.
5. Always chop time pots, regardless of rules #1-#4.
Thoughts?
* By "game", I mean a particular limit at a particular casino. For example, "Wynn 40/80" is a game.
