Would you chop?

No matter what the prize money could/would you have chopped here?

Heads up in a local pub tourney when the organiser comes up and asks if we wanted to chop? It"s been going a bit slow the play and blinds are 2000/4000 and 95000in play. Prizes were £45 for 1st and £25 for second. Make it £40 for 1st and £30 for 2nd. My opponet says he"s gonna go all in anyway on everyhand so I say fine, you do that but I"m not chopping.  I"ll call every hand. 

I have 88k and my HU opponent has 8k, 2 BB"s. I said no. Even if it was a £5 difference or a £10k difference. He had 2BB. I have 22. Apparently I was the bad guy for not accepting.

Anywho, he doubled up twice whilst gong in behind to go even in chips but I finally win a flip.

But the regulars I play with said I shouldve chopped! With the blinds sizes, like I said I wouldn"t have chopped for £5 difference or £5k.

Did they say why?

JamieCarra:
I"d offer him £26 and if he says no then we"re playing on.

deanp27:
offer him 2nd placed prize money or GTFO

do what suits you and not what others want you to do.
