This isn't exactly Poker strategy, but it kinda is at the same time. Title says it pretty well: How to tell someone that "Selectively Chopping" is a dick move without being a dick yourself?
Today I was at my local cardroom and there was someone there that I had never seen before. This is pretty rare because, a) I play a lot and b) lots of regs in this game at this time of the day so I am in the sb and it comes around to us and I ask if he wants to chop. I was already suspicious of this guy, but I had only been there for an orbit or something so I ask if he wants to chop and he says: "No not this time" ...
Arg!
I gently ask so do you want to play everytime? He responds with no, I'll play sometimes and chop sometimes depending on my hand. How do you tell someone new that that this is sort of frowned upon without looking like a prick yourself?
