When a set isn't good enough.

Running red hot on Prima with 25% of my pp turning into flopped sets. So today I figured that flopping sets was getting kind of boring....

SB posted the small blind - $0.10
BB posted the big blind - $0.20
1 fold, Hero called - $0.20, 1 fold, MP1 called - $0.20, 4 folds, SB called - $0.20, BB checked.

Flop - [9d][9h] Pot - $.80
Everyone checks

Turn - Pot - $.80
Everone checks

River - Pot - $.80
2 checks, Hero bets $.40, MP1 raises to $.80, 2 folds, Hero re-raises to $1.20, MP1 re-raises to $1.60, Hero who thought he wasn't going to get another penny from this hand says the hell with it and puts MP1 AI for a total of $7.40, MP1 calls

MP1 shows - [Jd] for the flush
Hero shows - [9s] for quads and is cursing that opponent was short stacked.

10 pocket pairs today and 4 of them turned into sets or better. I'm now running at about 30% sets over 1,962 hands.

This was my favorite hand from today however. Opponent had position on me at another table and had re-raised my pre-flop raise on the Button 2x. I was getting a little sick of it so I took some back from him with this bluff (although I may have had the best hand).

You didn't really "play" the first hand, your opponent played it for you. Second hand isn't a bluff, you had the best hand.
