    Flatting his 3-bet out of position before the flop is wow.

    I disagree.

    I knew he was a bad player; he had a stack; odds are I'd fold and loose 8 or 9 bb or whatever. But I knew there was a non insignificant chance he'd make a major screwup and I'd build a big stack. I saw this as a chipping opportunity.

    Sure, against good players I'd fold, pure and simple. but against a deep stacked bad player I think it is an error NOT to call and see where the hand takes you. Sure 70-80% of the time you check fold the flop, but I think the risk is worth it and 10j is just a good enough hand to see what comes.

    Flatting a three bet with j10 is often a v poor play, absolutely, but in this case I think there is a rationale.
