Why was it stupid? He played that hand pulling a 'Johnny Chan' like he was watching in the movie over and over (when Petra came in to his apt.) - makes sense for the movie.

Not that Chan was a great genius on the play himself as most people would slow-play with that hand and try to trap as you mention
