Horrible call.
You just know the guy has Ax or a pocket pair, possibly even AK or AQ. You are absolutely gauranteed to be an underdog. Probaby a small dog, but who cares?
Why would you want to risk half your stack in a coin flip or worse scenario. If you're a short stack, you HAVE to do this because a coin flip is about the best you can hope for. If you try to wait for anything better you might get blinded away. If you're a tall stack, you can afford to wait until you're a huge favorite. I just can't think of any reason to make this call.
Let the other players play russian roullette with their chips. As the chip leader and a skilled player, you don't have to.
