Unless the player just sat down and had to sit out until the button passes. Then the villian could be in the small blind when you are on the button.

That is how it played out.

You were in the wrong.

You either chop 100% of the time or you play 100% of the time. You don't cherrypick the situation AFTER looking at your cards and seeing that you have KK or 94o.

[ QUOTE ]

when i sit down, the first thing i do is tell the people next to me that i don't chop.

[/ QUOTE ]

I really don't think this is neccesary and could really only upset people. You probably only have to say this when the situation happens.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually I think one advantage to telling your neighbours as soon as you sit down that you never chop, is that it gives them fair warning.

That way when a chopping situation comes up and you call/raise/fold your blind, they'll know that you're adhering to your policy and they won't consider you to be a douchebag like another poster we could mention.

The winning hand ended up being Ten/Deuce of hearts (as the kid proclaims "Thank you Doyle," and kisses his cards). Everyone else flipped over garbage, excpet for the one holding KK who took a hard beat. I was in the BB next hand, and I go "don't even bother, I'm outta here."

Default So irresponsible...

[ QUOTE ]
I had a situation once where I was the SB and I held KK, it was folded to me and the BB asked If i wanted to chop. I said no and I raised. This really upset the BB who called me a greedy Son of A B*** and he would teach me a lesson.
He 3 bet and I capped.

To make a long story short I flopped 3 K's and he flopped 2 pair. We got into a raisng war and I dragged down a $300 pot.

About an hour later he got a seat change and the same situation came up again and I was dealt something like 94o and I asked if the BB wanted to chop, he said ok and sure enough I was glared at and called a couple of names by the other player who I was in a blind war with earlier.

I"m there to play poker and take people's money, not make friends. If I have a premium hand why would I fold? And on the other hand If i had a garbage hand and could chop why wouldn't I jump at the opportunity not to?

[/ QUOTE ]+EV for that one hand.
-EV for your poker karma.

Let me guess...you have acne?
