As GAF says it is a split pot at worst all going well...What's the difference between the first hand and the fiftieth hand, if you are scared to bet the first hand when odds are in your favour, then you will be scared to bet the fitieth hand when the odds are in your favour.

I believe you have to have belief in your game and play your hand as it is, whether it is first hand or last hand..It defies logic that anyone would fold when the percentages are so much in theor favour, especially the best 2 cards.

Call him, get rid of him, and one less person you have to worry about...if he flukes a hand that puts you out, then put it down to a bad beat...Percentages say you will win around 80% of the time apparently, and that's a great percentage for me to take on.
Erm...what he said!
