chopping with regsSo For the first time today someone ask me to chop a game!
I sat down and instently the other player asked me to chop, when i ask him why he said because we're both regs. So i told him ok, send me the money and i'll just leave and you can blind me out. So he said ok and after 3 mins $30 turned up in my account, i thank him and left.
So my questions are
1) should i have botherred chopping? (guy was 15%ROI over 1.5K games)
2) how often do people get asked to chop??

Depends on stars because of lobbys obviously in the turbos 115's and 230s u sit alot at same time of regs, I get asked to chop alot but it depends who it is, if i know its a solid reg and action is good ill just chop. If its just a random reg ive seen around and action is dead I always play it out as it could be a spot in the future

Usually they just go all in, and the winner ships half the buyin (minuse rake) On Full Tilt they have a deal option, which makes it easier.
I refuse to chop though, if they were that good, they wouldn't be asking to chop. I just play them, and bash them up. I get what Aggsy is saying, cos I guess a $200 reg on average is going to be much better than your average $30-$50 reg.
At the $30s $50s, I just refuse, it's good for your game to play regs sometimes, and in all honesty the ones at the $30s I have come across have huge leaks that are easily exploited.
Also bear in mind , everytime you chop, you still pay rake. It mounts up if you do it to often.

If they ask to chop and you say no then you have the edge..

Ya, this reg I met up with at the $2 tables asked me to chop...but I decided to go baller on him and play it out....
....bad idea.
Joking, of course. 
That's actually pretty sweet, I assume even without a hand played you would both lose the rake?

Happens alot up higher. Don't do it at $50's and under, because the regs are f-terrible anyway. Play them, crush them, take money.
If they do ask to chop tell them u will only chop if they pay u your rake aswell, otherwise u lose $1.50 every time at the $30's.
