So I sat down to play a little bit of 3/6 on Full Tilt tonight and within moments witnessed this hand:

Needless to say I quickly colored the BB purple (my most fishiest color) and buckled my seat belt. The very next hand this happened, with the BB from last hand in the SB:

And the next orbit (when the table was a little short) we closed out with this gem (in which I think I played every street opposite of what I would usually do, except the river) since I was up against such a special opponent:

I'm not really sure what the point of this post is, other than to say that you just don't see guys like this in live 20/40 games. And when you do, you plan your day around them. This guy ended up playing 60 or so hands at about 75/50/2, which anybody who plays online will tell you is just off the chain. I'm going to log back on and try to find him now :)

Why didn't you cap your nines on that flop? Your equity here is humungous given the evidence of the previous hand. I probably would have raised the turn too, but that wouldn't have worked out so well.
I was told about an Asian baller who played live 10/20 like that the other day. He dumped a couple of k to the table in the space of about an hour.
I'm not so sure about the equity thing there. All he has to have is one spade higher than 9 and all of a sudden he has 11 outs, which is close to 50% equity. I realize given the previous hand he by no means has to have one of those cards, but once we were the only two left with chips I figured it best to let him barrel off.
You're right, though, that I probably should have raised the turn.
