Why do I ever venture down to 1/2?

[Akverno]

Again, this guy was a horrible player, as easily witnessed by the fact that he was sitting with less then the full buy in.

But with slightly better cards and a full buy (or preferably DS) in I don't completely disagree with a call.

In this situation, it was a horrid beat(well, the majority of the money went in while he was a favorite, but that aside) and horrid play by his part to call the inital raise or the reraise.

I was just playing the ol devil's advocate since I haven't had too much of a chance to post lately.

By the way, isn't he looking at winning $147 when he calls the 25? His entire stack plus what was already in the pot?
