Now that we know that you chopped, did you play the game out or was that it? Again, I know that there may be no reason for others to play it out but for me, I'm too competitive to just end it.
I hate choppin unless I'm a real short stack and the money is too good to refuse. |

i was going to say... "i'd chop.. If there was only one table & +4 people waiting to play the cash game" - heck, i've chopped 4 ways to get a cash game going.
didnt think about the dads car@home factor.... i'm getting old, i've got 10 more years until my kids can drive...

Either way, you had to play well enough to make it heads up, so congrats. I'm not busting on you, I just like to finish what usually start. If I bust out, then I'll deal with that later, but again, nice win and cash. |

I chop to:
1 ) get another game started
2 ) It's very late in the night/morning and the other player is tired (and may have a long drive home)
I personally never offer to chop because I never want to give off that "I don't think I can win" scent. If I'm the chip leader I will never accept a 50/50 chop...and if I'm not the chip leader I want to be "paid" to go away but I usually don't expect 50/50. But since we added a season end payout bassed on league standings, there have been no chops because guys fight to the end to go after those 1st place and knockout points. |

In our home game with the same players every week, heads up usually chop, but not always 50-50. There a cash game after and folks want to keep playing.
With $340 to pay out, we would probably be a $190-$150 with $190 to the chip leader.
If it was a friend of a friend's game and I didn't play in it regularly, I probably wouldn't chop.
