Hand Breakdown & Thought Process:

Pre-Flop: Opened from UTG to 2BB with 9♠ 9♣. Got called by the SB (Q♠ J♠). Pot: 5.72BB.

Flop (9♥ - J♠ - 7♣): Dream flop! Hit top set. I fired a small c-bet of 1.9BB to build the pot. SB check-raised to 6BB with top pair. I 3-bet to 14.86BB to apply maximum pressure on draws and top pairs. SB shoved all-in for 63.83BB, and I snap-called!

Turn & River (2♠ - 3♣): Clean runout! My set of Nines held up against top pair to drag a massive 133.38BB pot (+67.43BB net)!

💬 Key takeaway: When you flop a set in a 3-bet pot dynamic, build the pot immediately and harvest maximum value from overplay! 💰
