Eight Deuce is not the nuts. I know. BUT:

• I like eight deuce, especially suited, as you can make a medium flush which is invisible.
• I like eight deuce, as nobody expects anyone to play it, so an Q82 board is great against AQ.
• I like eight deuce, because I like a challenge.

No, not really. It’s my hand, I play it, but I lose playing it. I guess we all have signature hands — I should have picked a better one.
