An idea about chopping

[rwanger]

I don't have any experience with being at a final table where several players are trying to work out a deal. So I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with this...

Let's say there are 5 players left, and everyone wants to make a deal except you (you have a personal policy against it). If you refuse, will the other players start to play differently against you? I imagine they will be pissed, but will they all go out of their way to bust you so they can work out their deal?

Would you be at an advantage because you'd be getting more action? Or a disadvantage because they're all passively colluding against you?

I don't think their play changes all that much, but once they bust you (if they do), you can be sure to expect some smart ass "wana chop now!?!??!?!" remark after they hit their 2 outer (anyone remember that in the big sunday event?)
