Bad players considered harmful

Bad players, as a general rule, are good to have at your table. This is especially true in cash games. However, in tournaments, bad players can sometimes cripple your stack with their inexplicable plays. That happened to me in the penultimate hand of the third tournament I entered last night. Here's how it went down:

Table '620627199 1' 6-max Seat #6 is the button
Seat 2: Seat 2 (1460 in chips)
Seat 4: Seat 4 (3070 in chips)
Seat 6: neostreet (1470 in chips)
Seat 2: posts small blind 100
Seat 4: posts big blind 200
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to neostreet [As 2c]
neostreet: calls 200
Seat 2: raises 400 to 600
Seat 4: folds
neostreet: calls 400
*** FLOP *** [Js Ah 5h]
Seat 2: bets 860 and is all-in
neostreet: calls 860
*** TURN *** [Js Ah 5h] [3s]
*** RIVER *** [Js Ah 5h 3s] [Ts]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Seat 2: shows [Td Th] (three of a kind, Tens)
neostreet: shows [As 2c] (a pair of Aces)
Seat 2 collected 3120 from pot

Seat 2 saw not one but two overcards to his pair of tens on the flop. A check was the correct play here. Instead, he shoved. I felt good about my aces and called. I was an 85% favorite, but he spiked a ten on the river and crippled me; I was left with $10 at the end of the hand. A good player would never shove in that situation. But since he made a bad play and did, and got really lucky, I ended up suffering for it. In this case I certainly wish I'd had a higher caliber of opponent to contend with!
