but you don't have top set in this situation. Set=2 in your hand, one on the board, right?

But this provides the foundation for the answer as to how it's possible to have the best hand (although it is not the nuts) and be drawing absolutely dead.

board = 333
your hand = 22
other hands: AK, QJ, T9, 87, 65, A2, A4

I think the hands AK - 65 are obvious why they're needed, a card above a 3 comes and someone has the higher boat. The A2 is needed just so that you can not hit runner runner quads and the A4 provides 2 purposes, taking away the last A (so the turn and river aren't 3-A, splitting the pot as everyone has quads A kicker) and taking the 4 so that running 4's doesn't split the pot. So at this point you have the best hand, 3s full of 2s. But the next card will put you behind no matter what, unless it's a 2, which keeps your best hand at 3s full of 2s (no poker hand called double trips :)) and the last card, since there are no 2s left will either give someone a higher boat or else put quads on the board splitting the pot between the people with A high kicker to the quads.
