Re: Refusing to chop in a mtt -EV?
Captzeebo,
I think since you posted in this forum, there is another reason why chops can become more +EV because of the psychology value of money of your opponents.
Lets say, its 3 to 5 handed, and everyone but you wants to chop and your top 2-3 in chips, instead of declining, this is the time to step it up and not answer back to their chat while playing very aggressive, raising and reraising preflop.
Once in awhile throw in a hello? in the chat, and this will totoally throw them way off their game, it works because there trying to get a chop in while not losing chips, so this is the perfect time to get their chips.
Also, chops vs the right opponents and it bad structures at the end are never bad, specially b/c usually your opponents want to chop so bad that if you throw in that you want more, they usually will split it between themselves to pay you extra to accept the chop. So always want more, specially online.
