Background: It was 4am and I was 4-tabling some PP SNGs. On this table, I decided I would play every pocket pair as long as the raise wasn't a huge amount of my stack and see how lucky I could get.

Here I am over-playing my pocket pair and lucking out on the river. I thought there was a REALLY good chance he had a 9 here since he was a blind, has only C/C so far, still called my big raise, and there's no flush/straight possibilities.
