One shove too many

Last night, there was a player who was shoving (i.e., going all in) too often. I got fed up with it and decided to call his third or fourth shove. As I suspected, he didn't have a premium hand; truth be told, neither did I. With my 10 3 offsuit, I was a 40.36% dog to his king 2 offsuit. The good news was that I'd started the hand with $1,380 in chips to his $370; that mismatch definitely figured into my decision to call. The better news was that Lady Luck smiled on me, as I paired my 3 and he paired his 2. I went on to win the tournament, and called it a night.
