A friend of mine was at Jennifer Tilly's table when she (Tilly) called an all-in (fairly substantial, maybe 7-8 big blinds) with T8s. It's one thing to be aggressive and be the one making bets and raises with marginal hands -- but calling someone else's all-in with trash is just tough to justify.

This really depends on alot of factors. Waht were the pot odds, chip positions, etc.? Gus Hansen had made crazy calls like this, and then people call him a genius. Once he called Esfandiari with T8. Gus had correctly read him for a low pocket pair and knew he had a heads up situation. Another time was when he called with QT against Freddy Deeb. Again, this was a correct call because of pot odds and chip position (even if he lost, he still has Deeb outchipped, and the pot odds more than favored him given Deeb's range of possible hands).

Robert Varkonyi's call with QT against Phil Hellmuth was also the correct call. I'm just gonna throw that out there and see what people think.
