Re: knock out the jackass?? calling with a known coin-flip
 

[ QUOTE ]
In a live tournament, having the table chip lead is important because people tend to be be more afraid to put their "tournament life" at risk. In addition, the fast structure favors a call for two reasons: one, you'll want the chips to gamble with other people for their stacks, and two, you won't have the time to wait for better opportunities. Put it this way, is it going to be more than 50% likely that you'll pick up a near double up some other way? I doubt it.

I have to agree with this. Calling has a drastic increase on the likelihood that you won't be around the drunk much longer.

Fold and you'll find a better spot. He'll keep doing this. You might even hit a 2-for-1 where you'll be calling with even better pot odds. Not to mention that someone else is likely to take a shot at him eventually and drunk doubles up. Seen this happen way too many times. Hehe.

Heh, one way or the other, I guess that's at least true.
