Something tells me that Ken Warren bases his writing on DavidC's "Rejected Ideas" file...this is waaaaay over-thought, in addition to being stupid.

The only way I'm going to be in the position he cites (at the turn, with no way to win, with a drunk on my right and a weak-tight on my left) I'd have to have completed with, say, a middle suited one gap, missed the flop, seen the flop checked through, and then a complete blank falls on the turn. If my cards were any better than that, I'd have been raising preflop, either to isolate the drunk or to steal from the weak-tightie, and if I'd hit the flop I'd be betting or raising to drive out the weak-tightie. So, I'm one SB into this pot, and I'm expected to put 2BBs in so that I can win the original SB back...on the off chance that the weak-tightie doesn't have a monster he's been slow-playing?

I'd rather just hope that the drunk knocks his chips over when he passes out and one or two of 'em fall under my chair.
