    Do things like this really surprise you when playing in a 4.40?

    With so many players involved in the hand, the re-raise by loukette should have been much more than 40. loukette's flat call is cute, but once it's raised, loukette should be bumping this up to get rid of the stragglers. AA is a strong hand, but its not invincible.

    Also, the bet of 100 on the flop won't scare anyone away (and that is a scary board). 2-2 would not be in this hand had the bet on the flop been pot-sized (at least). Playing too cute can be successful sometimes...but it can get you in a lot of trouble too.
