it has folded to button on several occasions, and button had elected to fold and then SB and myself agreed to chop.

This is almost certainly costing you more than the raise 3/bet sequences. I can't imagine anyone chopping 3-4 handed.

It was 6-handed a lot of time (depends with a walker or two), the rake was $3 vs $1 drop with no flop. In addition, the woman in SB was by no means a pushover. My edge over her heads up in the blinds was miniscule at best.

I don't chop 5-handed or less, when the rake becomes only $1 and they take the $1 regardless if we see a flop or not.
