What do you do against preflop tilters?

[gh9801]

I don't know if this is the right idea or not, but yes, simply because it is early on and I don't need to gamble when I can just sit around like I usually do and play poker later.

I think if you knew he had two lower cards you have to call. You are a about a 5 to 3 fav and will most likely double up.

[gh9801]

Maybe I should call mathematically, but I don't like it.

[Benoit]

You didn't say how much you had, obviously a much easier call if you can cover him and then some. Easy call, would you rather try to win $650 from the fish or from the rock at the table?

Edit* I didn't know he was not normally going all-in preflop... In that case he is short stacked with only about 6xBB, he may have Ax and want to raise but going all in is a better choice. If I felt this was a good read I'd probably call, otherwise I would fold... At such low blinds, the pot odds aren't attractive enough.

So what's the general consensus?

[czyivn]

You likely have the advantage. Do this play and call his all-in 10,000 times, and you will come out ahead considerably more often than not. But in this case, I say it isn't worth it. In a MTT where stack size matters more, I say go for it, but if you are a consistent in-the-money SNG player, I say muck it and let him have his measly 45 chips. I'm no expert, but I know that pretty much anyone can fold every hand and finish in the top 5 or so of a SNG. Let someone else gamble with this maniac.

[J-Lo]

If you are a winning, good ITM player, you would want to call this, no? The xtra chips help you considerably, because you know how to wield them. That's what makes you a good player.

I reluctantly called, Tilter had Q5 (but it was soooooted), AKo somehow wins. Thanks PP.
