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.

Re: Nate\'s rules for chopping
6. always chop if the rake is high in relation to the stakes. there's no reason to chop in a 2/4 game with a 4 dollar drop.
it seems like you're figuring this live poker thing out. now you just need to work on that twitch in your left eye that makes it all too easy to call down your turn raises with ace high.
