Re: playing against someone who is all-in blind
I would call him with any big pair (AA, KK, QQ) with other callers. If heads up, I might loosen to 77 or above. And of course A K. Depends on how long you want to stay and put up with his antics.

Re: General AA question.
It is partially dependent on the player but most likely is a push. If you can attempt to slow play and get more chips out of him, you can try it but why take the risk?

Chips on the table
There is a free tournament series going on in Milwaukee. Being that it is free, the quality of the player can be quite bad as can the disregard for some simple rules/procedures.

Why are most poker players liberal?
I am curious as to why this seems to be. I read many a different blog out there and it seems that the majority are easily on the left. Any thoughts on why?
