Sometimes you get really lucky...

...get hit by the flop in a big way, and manage to have people stay in with crap that doesn't improve.

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 9s, 9h.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, Hero calls, MP3 folds, CO calls, Button calls, SB completes, BB raises, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, Hero calls, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls.

Flop: (14 SB) 5c, 4d, 9c (7 players)
SB checks, BB bets, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, Hero raises, CO calls, Button calls, SB folds, BB calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls.

Turn: (13 BB) 7h (6 players)
BB checks, UTG+2 checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets, CO calls, Button calls, BB calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls.

River: (19 BB) 3s (6 players)
BB checks, UTG+2 checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets, CO folds, Button calls, BB folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls.

Final Pot: 22 BB
Main Pot: 22 BB, between MP1, Hero and Button. > Pot won by Hero (22 BB).

MP1 shows Kc Kd (one pair, kings).
Hero shows 9s 9h (three of a kind, nines).
Button shows Qc 7c (one pair, sevens).
Outcome: Hero wins 22 BB.

Good thing, too, 'cause I was slightly down before this hand. Now some of you may think that I should have slow-played this one, trapping the pre-flop raiser into adding another BB or two to my stack. But I think Izmet says that you should not slow play a set. At least, not at my skill level. Also, given the table's history, I knew I couldn't rule out someone having crap cards working well with the crap board.
