999? nein

Last night, I ran into a cooler on the final hand of the session. On the money bubble, I was dealt pocket nines, and hit a set on the flop. I went all in and got one caller. It was a set over set scenario; the caller had been dealt pocket kings, and had hit a set on the flop.

This is an excerpt from my March 4, 2020 post. Last night, nearly the same scenario occurred; the crucial difference was that I'd already made the money. A less significant difference was that this time, the caller had been dealt pocket aces, and had hit a set on the flop. My set of nines still got the "Nein!" treatment :-)
