Re: Chop/chop? (funny story, no content)
If the house is going to take a rake on the flop, I chop.
If someone prefers not to, that's cool, it's their right to play the hand.
Anyway, leads to a funny story, a while ago. It's late at night at a $2-4 table I'm sitting BB and get dealt KK. It gets folded around to SB, who just sat down a few hands ago and is probably a bit drunk. I ask him whether he wants to chop.
The guy says -- "I know you have a crappy hand or you wouldn't have offered, so why should I chop" and raises me.
Anyway, to make a long story short -- Flop comes down K66. SB ultimately shows 6-4, but since I'm playing the nuts, and he refuses to believe I really have anything, this is MANY chips later.
Now, the fun starts -- I flip over my kings, and the jerk goes absolutely ballistic -- calls me a cheater, saying that I was angle shooting, every name in the book, etc. Finally, the dealer calls over the floor, who looks at me and I say "I always offer to chop, whether it's 2-7 or AA" The floor then goes to sb and says that if he can't control his language, he'll be asked to leave the casino.
SB Picks up his chips, says FU to the floor and storms out.
Floor and I just smile and shrug.
