My question here is why doesn't he use the chips he would to buy them off, 
just to dodge.  Or instead use them on his Vigor roll to avoid the badness.

If the Character doesn't have a descent dodge, or Fighten:Brawlin or a 
Descent Vigor, then hes sort of dug his own grave.  You've given him a few 
options(both a finesse way(dodge, with nimblness) and a Tough Guy(Vigor 
Check) way.)

Just my thoughts
