Default Re: funny story

this may be true with someone who never chops...but this is a 'selective' chopper. ive found these idiots tend to play predictably when they do call your raise....and they usually wont call unless they have a very good hand...which is why they didnt want to chop that 'certain' hand....some of these guys are also weak tight, so they tend to fold during the hand to bluffs....

you can sit to their right and make EV on them. if youre careful and dont overdo it

Default Re: Selective chopper

"Don't just agree to not chopping, because then you are giving away money on....some hands...that he'd chop with."

your not going to win every blind battle...but youll win enough to make a profit off these types of idiots. you dont HAVE to play every blind hand in this spot...which is one reason i actually like to be on his right....to put pressure on him without asking...

it's actually more predictable playing in the BB....b/c you know when he wants to play, hes only going to play with better hands...and if he wants to chop and you dont, you only get the sb...to where he gets the BB....

when jacking it from the sb into his bb, he may eventually lower his calling standards here and you might gain even more on him...

youre right though, both positions have their pros and cons

just some ideas...
