The maniac now has a 10% chance of winning the pot, you have a 44.9% chance of winning, and the third guy has a 44.6% chance of winning.

You're screwed.

i wouldnt mind a 44.9% percent chance of tripling up, i definately wouldnt call that being screwed.

no one asked about postition here. where are you in relation to the blind raiser? obviously there are people to act after you on most rounds, but if you are one or two to to his right than you can feel safe calling with a decent hand. take his chips.

Although you are right and many of the other posters have been very very wrong, it also bears pointing out that in your example, because 100% of the money went to first place, correct strategy inherently reverted (almost) exactly to cash-game strategy. The point isn't that waiting for aces is generally stupid; the point is that waiting for aces is so freaking stupid that it's even wrong in a touranment.
