To Chop or not to Chop?

Well yesterday while playing 40/80 I decided it was best to just play all the time(it was short at the time). Now i would rather not chop just because I get to play more Blind vs Blinds(in case i want to move up to timed games), prevent angling, have a bit of edge. On the negative side there is rake and it my upset the regulars and maybe cause some problems? Anybody have some thoughts on the matter?

I just stopped chopping my blinds a few weeks ago due to an argument that I got into with a non-regular when we got short handed in a late night MM game. I had been chopping with him all night when the game was full and when it became 5 handed I told him I don't chop SH, he didn't like that idea so I don't chop at all now.

It doesn't cause any problems or arguments like it seems like it would. My only advice is to say "I play" rather than "I don't chop" it just sounds less negative and you can always say "chopping is no fun" when they complain about it.
