LOLCHOPAMENTS.

best chop ever

8 left in the Caesar's 100+20, I've got average number of chips, payout is 5 spots 1800ish for first, 1100ish for 2nd, 570ish for 3rd, 440ish for 4th and 320ish for 5th. The table buddy, nice guy decent player proposes that we start discussing chops. Everybody is for it except a guy who was currently 3rd is all for it. Guy in Phillies shirt to my right who's really short on chips spends an extra couple minutes trying to coerce this guy to take the chop. But he still says nay.

A couple hands later, Asian guy with big stack moves all in, Phillies guy moves in, non-chop moves in. It's A7s, 99, AJ. Board comes QQ997. Phillies guy becomes 2nd in chips, Asian guy is practically out the door, Non-Chop has 500 left after splitting the awesome 1000 chip side pot with Asian guy's A7.

Non-chop goes out next hand. Nice guy proposes deal again, Phillies guy takes it right away even though he's got a huge stack now, and then an excellent player who had a commanding chip lead for some reason or another agrees. We agreed to chop $500 a piece and leave $900 on the table for first. Biggest winner however is the guy who had 1/4 the average chips. Even crazier than taking the first chop, nice guy who was knocked out in 4th proposes that the last 3 players discuss a chop so that they chop up the remaining $900 and so that everybody can get their cash and book. Excellent player with at least 60% of the chips in play agrees, and Phillies shirt guy now becomes the big winner by chopping 1/3 of the remaining cash with 1/10 of the remaining chips. Apparently the good player either hates money or was planning on getting one $800 hooker or maybe 800 $1 hookers.
