I played this hand about as bad as I could've played it. I'm posting it up to further embarrass myself and my play so that hopefully none of you will suffer the indiginity.
After an uninspired and WINNING session, I'm waiting for my friend's girlfriend to show up after she called 30 mins ago from a place that's 15 min away. I'm playing weak-tight and looking forward to racking up and taking my winnings, albeit tiny ($70), and buying the first round. Will, this hand came up. . .
Villain: $650 (typically solid regular but is full on tilting tonight)
Me: $320
Button: ???
I'm dealt 5  5  and limp behind villain. Button makes it $25. Villain calls after saying "all I saw was one card"
Hmmm, fold this hand and really call it a night? Nah, villains tilting and playing an ace. Let's see if I can crack him
Flop: A Q J
(dude this flop sucks, I'm done with it)
Villain leads for $20 and now I've got all types of ideas in my head. .
Me: Raise it $80.
Button folds reluctantly and Villain is full on tilting, calls here.
Turn: A 
Villain: Says to me "Ok, what do you want do here? I check"
Me: Ok, i've got the 5 , this guy told me preflop he has an ace and tilting, I've already sunk in $105 into this damn pot. Let me check behind and get lucky. oops . . . .. "I'M ALL IN"
Now normally, I'm a good boy and check behind here. Why did I make a move? (1) I was mucking hands and was bored (2) I wanted to show off my big balls (3) Hey, it's only my buy-in and profits that I've grinded it to get. (4) Did I mention i have big balls?
Ok, I show my red fives and I yell at the dealer. . . "I NEED A HEART" and OMG there she is, the beautiful 6 of hearts.
Then I hear it.. . "Heart's no good" My heart sinks, my balls shrivel up, and I look to see what the winning hand is..... A  6
Me: look over at my friend, his phones ringing, he picks up, . . .it's his girlffriend.
Good night.
See y'all on the felt.

 ... great story, and well told. You might have even got your $320 worth.
Woulda lost it all on the river anyway huh? No way to put him on A6 FFS when your flush hits.
