So I look down at my hand and see that it's junk. I go to throw my hand away but I get a "feeling" to play this hand, so what the heck. I chuck in a blue $0.50 chip and mention to the guy sitting opposite to me "This will be the best hand ever" while pointing to my cards. So anyway everyone calls and there are 7 or 8 to the flop.
The flop is

and guy to my right pots it, i re-pot, guy to my left thinks for a while and eventually folds, then guy to his left re-pots. The initial raiser then folds and I re-re-pot basically allin, the other guy thinks and finally calls.
River is the
and I scoop.
This pot was about $120, i'd say. Guess what my hole cards were
Poker is silly.
