3/6 NL
Not claiming I played the hand well, but the table was loose as hell (still doesn't change the fact that I managed to donk it out in the end  )

sorry about the funky format, but Bodog doesnt store hand histories on your harddrive so I have to screencap, cut & paste in photoshop

Clicking on the link just crams the whole pic on my screen, and I can't zoom in. Perhaps you could summarize/narrate the action?
Nh, sir.

very nice catch. Sometimes luck is a BR bust friend.
As a side note, OP admits he didn't play the hand well, why do we congratulate him on his play? Often when I play and lose to a one outer that play bad I grind my teeth and say Nice Hand. When they thank me I want to shout on them - "Jerk, you played this hand like a complete fish and got real lucky. This WASN´T meant as a compliment"
No offense to OP or anyone else, God know I was a lucky fish as often as every one else. When I suck out on some one I usually say sorry and respond with "got lucky" to their NH in the chat...
However, now thinking about it, my way wont put most people on tilt - maybe I should start using luck to my benefits !

I hear ya man & no offense taken.
The table was just sooooo damn loose, I mean just look at the initial preflop raise, five betting it in worst position, with king high, it's bad enough that I call, but then big stack with just about a grand calls as well, with 9 high... I saw the SB raising then betting out huge bets with an underpair on previous hands, & I just kept thinking over and over in my head he had pocket 3's, so I figured I'd give him a loose call, as I really couldn't see big stack calling after me. But when big stack called, I knew I was in trouble til my magic 7 came on the turn 
Don't get me wrong, I fully admit I was playing wild as well before this hand, seeing a lot of flops whether I'd limp or call a raise to see it, but I was hitting... Like you said, sometimes you just gotta use luck to your benefit. But I never apologize when hitting that miracle card. On the contrary, if they start criticizing my play, I'll then try to rub it in as much as possible But if they don't say anything negative, I just graciously take the win without saying anything, and silently thank the poker gods (aka the RNG) for going my way.
Probably the best part though, was that about 5-10 minutes after that hand, Bodog shut down for a half hour for maintenance. Giving me time to lock up my lucky little score, and giving me time to relfect on how lucky I really got, without the cockiness going too much to my head
ps- anyone that cant view the hand readout can just right click "save picture as" on the pic, and view it on their computer, it's just a .jpeg picture file

Was on the same table with him again late last night/early this morning playing 5/10 NL, unfortunately he didn't pay me off huge again this time.. took maybe less than $100 total from him in the hour I played. He was playing tight this time dammit  However, the other fish guided me to a $860 win, so it's all good.
