Re: Concept of Chopping Blinds
From what I understand, it's not table specific, it's player specific. If you are the type of player that chops, you should always chop, if you're not, you should never chop. That's my understanding of the etiquette.
Now, I have a related question, I was playing at the Taj in AC yesterday, second time I played live and at some point, it was folded to the button who seemed to be a regular there and she bet. Then she noticed it was just her and the blinds, so she started apoligizing to them saying she never did that and was so sorry she didn't notice only the blinds were left.
She said she shouldn't have bet so as not to take their edges. I had no clue what she meant. I mean I understand that if there's no flop there is no rake, but how is that a edge for the blinds?
On a related not, the previous day, my first time playing live, it was folded to me on the button, I raised to steal the blinds, the both folded and I didn't notice anybody getting upset, but if I understand what this regular meant, I probably pissed off a few people by doing that?
Do you agree, is stealing the blinds not worth it in a casino, is that some kind of breach of etiquette?
Thanks in advance for your feedback and sorry to the OP for kinda hijacking his thread.
