Tilters Paying off Your Big Pairs PF

Final Table of an 18 player SNG

chip leader loses massive pot and is now down to 625 in chips

very next hand you pick up a big pair, lets say. KK

what do you do

I limp in here, cuz there is no doubt in my mind that this tilted ex-chip leader is going all in

here is an example:

sometimes making unbelievably amazing plays doesnt pay off

or is it a good play?

opinions?

A couple things to think about here. If the chip leader(x chip leader) is a solid player there is a chance he can fold next hand and regather himself. So you need to have an idea(which i'm sure you do) of what he will do. If you know he is the kinda player who will be breaking his keyboard after that beat then limping sounds like a good idea!

Also what position are you? Think about the rest of the players as well. Limping can be justified alone just on being in early position. In later position I might jam the pot a little.

I don't really feel that there is necessarily a right answer to your question b/c it's situational, but what you are talking about sounds like a smart move.
