    Trapping the Maniacs

    Default Call this or ignore the idiot?

    One of the first few hands in a £10 MTT earlier. This maniac was going all-in before the flop and TELLING people what he had BEFORE they called him.
    I'm holding AK against his J8 and decide to call but should I have just ignored this idiot? I went on tilt after this and didn't last long.

    ------HAND 11------
    Game #799900794: Texas Hold'em No Limit (10/20) - 2005/09/02 - 19:09:10 (GMT)

    1) Of course you call.
    2) If he's bothering you - report him. I don't know of any casino which allows you to tell people what cards you have. (Although honest retards generally are not one of my big concerns).

    Call, especially against the maniac. The maniac will make plays like that all the time with any two cards, and your the favorite with AKo most likely. Plus, you have a good chance to knock him out from the tourney which is always nice. You just got unlucky against his J8o, you were the 2 to 1 favorite...
