ur running so hot dude

I was feeling so on top of my game the other day. I was just really alert and creative, picking up on a ton of spots where I could steal pots if I applied enough pressure in the right way. This was the best one. Unless they have exactly Khxh, most people aren't going to check call a flush draw on the flop. I bet the flop just to set up an opportunity to steal the pot later. When the flush came in, it was just a matter of pouring on the pressure:
Full Tilt Poker, $3/$6 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 5 Players
Hero (UTG): $2,697.85
CO: $937
BTN: $2,296.05
SB: $2,240.30
BB: $344.80
Pre-Flop: 7d 9d dealt to Hero (UTG)
Hero raises to $21, 2 folds, SB raises to $72, BB folds, Hero calls $51
Flop: ($150) Th Ks 6h (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $88, SB calls $88
Turn: ($326) 2h (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $377, SB calls $377
River: ($1,080) Js (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $2,160.85 and is All-In, SB folds
Results: $1,080 Pot ($3 Rake)
Hero mucked 7d 9d and WON $1,077 (+$540 NET)
The best part of the hand was what my opponent said after he folded:
Villain: aa ur running so hot dude
