Just for the record, arent you supposed to not look at your cards before accepting a chop?

So, when you're in the blinds you don't look at your cards until somebody else at the table puts money in the pot? More to the point, does everybody else at your live tables do this, too?

at foxwoods 4-8 yes, it's only maybe once per hour (25-30 hands) it's folded to SB, and it's chopped 99% of the time. Most people don't like to know what they are giving up, so they don't look until neeed. Personally I do so I can begin formulating my plan, but I am in the minority. Note the rake at 2-4 and 4-8 is $2 on the flop, so if SB completes and BB checks they are each in for $4 for a $6 pot, a pro against an idiot has a hard time making that up.
The only time I've seen a chop request denied in about 50 hours of play this year it was folded to SB, BB says 'chop?' SB says 'no' and completes. BB mucks his hand in disgust before the flop.
