This thread gives me a perfect excuse to post this hand from last night's 3r 10k. Little bugger to my left was a Gus Hansen wannabe, calling my raises every time and trying to take away the pot, occasionally flipping over absolute garbage to show how smart he was. Needless to say, his stack had been dwindling. (We each arrived at the table with about 10k, and you can see where the stacks are now.)
With this hand I decided to let him try to "outplay" the rest of his chips over to me.

The best part is that his little river bluff left him 250 chips behind-- the ol' "hanging on to cab fare" bluff. Couldn't have made it easier on me. (OK, maybe this belongs in BBV, but it's such a good example of what happens when a doofus tries to "outplay" his opponents.)
