    Kinda kicking myself because I think I may have given up to much in a recent chop.

    It was the PLO 30r for $5500 and gave $7K to the winner, jgmrt3, who's a pretty solid player with just shy of $65K omaha profit. Pre chop 1st paid $7600 and $4800 to 2nd. When we chopped blinds were 6K/12K and he had me outchipped 1.1m to 510K. ICM numbers had him at $6750 and me at $5750 or something like that and he said $7K or no chop. I had beaten him in most of the pots we had played up to that point but didn't want to flip for $700ish. Too passive? Not sure if I gave up too much but he's def not a fish so I took that into account

    id prob gamble for the chance to make 7600 instead of just taking another 700.

    I'm not chopping there, or at least for that amount, plus if you double you have him 2:1

    Seems like you are giving up to much already banking $4800. I would not give up extra money in this chop. However, you are the only one in your shoes, and if the extra locked up $700 meant alot to you, then don't worry about it.

    It's not the best chop, but if you're a 2:1 dog against a better player locking up the extra 700$ is always nice. Nice job on the score

    but if you double on a particular hand soon, you are 2:1 on him is felipebball's point.
