    Just a quick warning to all heads up poker players on stars - I would advise you not to chop with the player blueduck23 as to date he has not transferred the money and won't respond on chat. I have tried several times to make contact but he is completely unresponsive. You have been warned!

    You actually agreed to chop and trusted someone to send you the money? Why didn't you email support to the table?

    Who chops heads up games?

    Lately on FTP I'm getting asked to chop in 1-table sngs all the time. What is this new epidemic?

    chopping a 9 handed sng is fine for a 12 turbo you chop for 39.60 each which isnt a bad roi for 12 bucks

    Usually you chop hu because two people that don't want to play each other reg at the same time. Its just smarter to chop and wait for a fish.

    Uh, people chop in regular hu matches all the time... like I explained earlier in the thread.... two regulars register at the same time, so they decide to chop and wait for a fish instead of playing one another.

    This.

    Also, Ive chopped with regulars lots of times before (it's pretty standard) and blueduck23 is the only player Ive had problems with so far... I just thought I'd try and warn as many people as possible to prevent the same thing happening to you. He obviously is just a dick of the highest calibre.

    Oh yeh, for the record it was a 2 person $220 HU.

    Ok, after constant badgering and harrassment blueduck23 finally responded... according to him we agreed to flip for the $220 and NOT chop the $220. Apparenly we got our wires crossed as I would never have agreed to flip for $220 but nevermind, I can't really be bothered to pursue it any further.

    As nice as people are I would never trust someone with my money. Just call support for any deals. That way it can't go wrong

    If you don't have anything in your account, even that would be a nearly insurmountable task.

    HU Flips I understand.. Chopping a HU (not 4 player) SNG I don't see the point ever. With that being said, with someone you don't know to trust to give you $220 doesn't make sense not to call support over. Do you have your chat saying it was a chop and not a flip? pokerstars support may still honor the chop if its clear in the chat text. Maybe stars needs to automate their dealmaking like ftp and party..

    so people actually register for hu's and praying to play a fish, then voluntarily chop when a regular registers then they both sacrifice 10 bucks to the rake, profitable approach there

    I remember like eons ago Blueduck was at the final table of a 100r and they were having some serious issues with chopping the tournament, possibly because of language barriers with Blueduck? But he certaintly wasnt making friends at that table.
