Mixed Games: Big Slick

I'm on another comp with no AIM so couldn't msg you about this hand.

I had a trash hand but the pot was so big and I felt everyone was weak despite the action. You said something about playing the player not the board. What were your thoughts/reads during the hand to showdown a pair of fives?

Yeah I'm quite aware of this. Its my attempt at being unpredictable. I had just sat down at the table and I will often make these rediculous plays to get more action later. I should've dumped the hand from the start... but after the 3 bet, I really had no option but to cap it.. right?
