penny ante
Trivially low stakes
Penny ante refers to poker played for very small stakes—literally pennies.
The term extends to anything trivially small or insignificant: penny ante politics, some penny ante crook.
It dismisses something as not worth serious attention: That's penny ante stuff compared to what they're planning.
