Someone just did that to me in a SnG. I raised 4x the bb(160)with A-10, flop came 8-8-A. I raised 100 on the flop, he called. Turn was a 4, I best 100, he raised to 200, I called. River was a 10, I bet 200, he pushed me all in for my remaining 500, I called, he turns over 8-3. Chair flies across the room.

I hope you don't call 4x the bb with those rags because that's just a stupid play.
