The discussion usually begins when you are in the money at the final table.  It actually begins with the motion to pay the bubble.  Often tourist tournament players see being ITM as the goal and they are "done" mentally.  Really they want to chop because they are not confident in their short-handed play.

For me it is when the remaining players all have <10BB.  It is easy to see that it will just be a shovefest and now we're all flipping for hundreds and maybe thousands of dollars.  One unlucky outcome and even the bigstack, with less than 10BB can be knocked out and take home as an example....$200 instead of a $800 chop.  Sometimes this needs to be explained to the bigstack in simple terms.

I would also be prepared for someone saying, "No."

And you should be aware that some of the places you listed will not facilitate the chop.  In other words they will pay out 1st, 2nd, etc. but you will have to return to the table and make everyone whole according to the deal you made and the poker room has nothing to do with the deal.

Don't worry about it....get ITM first !

Good luck !
