I was about to post this in the MTT Strategy when I realized I didn't have that much of a question.  But the situation is just too ridiculous to not share, so here it is . . .

So I'm deep in the Poker Maximus $10 entry (50BB, chip leader at my table) when this guy is moved to my table with about 80BB.  In his first orbit, he has three bet almost every hand, raise/called 10BB shoves with hands like K7o and Q3o, is chatting about he will get it in with anyone.  He's also showing every hand when he wins uncontested, and it's obvious he just doesn't care at all.

After nine hands, he has opened 5 times, 3bet 4 times, and only folded once.  He's down to about 50BB, so we have almost exactly the same stack.  This is a $10 tourney with 4000 entrants, and we each had about 8% of the total chips in the tournament, so while I am loving the opportunity to maybe double up if I get a solid hand, I'm also nervous about the variance associated with playing with this guy.  On the other hand, I don't think his life expectancy is very long, and if I want the chips I can't afford to pass up a good spot and let him donk off the chips to someone else.

Of course when I get dealt JJ on the button and he opens UTG, I know this is my chance to go big or go home.

I try to size my flop raise to encourage him to spaz and overshove.  Any thoughts on bigger or smaller?

Not my favorite card, but I don't see him folding any pair, so in it goes.

Hand History converter is missing his hand here, but it's 89 spades, so I'm devastated.

DING!
