In your example, though, the effect of the idiot was the opposite - SB had to call 2 bets on the flop with incorrect odds [9.5:1]. If the idiot had not been in the hand, SB would have had much better odds to call your single raise on the flop.
This type of idiot is a useful opponent, use him as a tool (no pun intended) for knocking other players out of pots, protecting your vulnerable hands. Very nice if you get a seat on his left (as in your example).
