He flat calls the re-raise, in which case he will probably go all in on most flops - but his stack size makes this a non-issue for me, so I'd consider that outcome the same as being heads up with the tricky player. 2. Goes all in pre-flop just because he only has another $2 left, which traps the tricky player into at least calling - possibly raising again to isolate - and reopens the betting to me.
