As I understood the chop 'rule' is that if the table agrees to it, then it should be followed all the time

it is up to you and your 'neighbors'

when i sit down, the first thing i do is tell the people next to me that i don't chop. sometimes i am the only player not chopping, but i don't give a rat's ass. i think i can outplay my opponents post-flop in the games i play. therefore, in my mind, the rake is being paid by them.

chopping is all about saving rake, but if you think you have the advantage at your table, then chopping is EV-.
