Default What do you do against preflop tilters?

PP 20+2 SNG

UTG chases way too much and is very loose preflop. He is your classic 20+2 super fish. However, within the first ten hands he caught some lucky hands and went up to about 2200 chips. After a reality check now he is down to ~650 and is tilting.


15/30 blinds
UTG goes allin for ~650
all fold to Hero in SB with AKo (~750)

Most likely has any two, but quite possibly A-x (which is the only hand I should want to see, right?). What's my play?

Fold. I don't think you wanna go up against 33 here and risk your tourney on a coinflip when its still very early with very small blinds and you're in no trouble whatsoever. Take his chips later.

This is incredibly, and I mean incredibly, bad.

If he's an idiot and moving in with everything, call him for sure.

No argument here. I'm (obviously) still learning. Curious, would you call him if you knew he had 33? Would you call him if you had no read on him?

Go with your read and call. No point in making a read and then not listening to it.

I learn about myself by going with my reads. Most of them are okay, some of them are terrible, but I can't improve if I don't allow myself to fail from time to time.

EDIT: Oh yeah, making the correct read but not playing accordingly is failing.

My thoughts were that I didn't want to gamble at this point, and two live cards or a hand like 55 would make me unhappy. But at the same time I can't just "wait" to take his money, because it is going away fast. If I know he has two live for sure, do I call?

I had a read and most likely am ahead at the moment, but is it worth it to call and possibly get outdrawn?

If he showed me his two live cards I would be iffy on the call for most of my stack, when I don't want to take this kind of risk so early. If he showed me 33, I would throw my hand away for sure.

By the way, he wasn't moving allin every hand. This is the second time he did it. Most of the time he was limping preflop and calling a raise, then outdrawing on the turn.

Let me get this straight, if you knew he had two cards lower than AK you would consider folding?
