So since there were many posts along the lines of "this has to be a troll, just look at his strategy posts, can't be the same guy" and I never read any of them, I went through ~15% of 6bet me's posts outside of this thread.
This is what I found:

Hero ???
I'm considering all 3 options here (fold, call or 4bet jam). Thoughts?
This is particularly disturbing since at the start of this thread OP asked in post #8:

If you flat it will go 5ways which makes it very difficult to get value postflop and very easy to lose a big pot against sets, straights, flushes and 2pr.
Folding is okay but seems nitty. Do you fold?
The answer

couldn't discourage OP to butcher AJ/KQ hands at every opportunity creating ridiculous spots and SPRs for a year straight.
The next post has to be up there in the 6bet me-HOF:

I limp in for $2 with JJ. I figure there's no point raising because my hand is worthless if I get 4 callers and the flop comes Q76 for example. I'm better off just set mining.
Fish calls $2
Shark raises to $15
I reraise to $100. I'm trying to get him to fold here because this hand plays very poorly postflop and I'd rather not have to play postflop against this very strong player.
Shark asks "how much do you have behind?" And stares me down with big chips in his hand. Eventually he calls $100.
Flop comes AQ8
I check
Shark INSTANTLY announces "all-in" and stares me down. He's usually a talkative guy but this time he keeps his mouth shut and gives me an intimidating death stare.
I have a $150 stack and there's $200 in the pot.
Call or fold?
Boss move:

Hero is dealt As 9s in CO
SB posts $1
BB posts $3
Folds to hero
Hero raises to $15
Villain (BTN) calls $15
Everyone else folds
$30 in pot
Flop shows 6c 4s 2d
Hero Cbets $25
Villain calls $25
$80 in pot
Turn shows 7d
Hero checks
Villain bets $40
Hero shoves ALL-IN for $210
Villain folds
When I read this, I assumed OP had Ad9d, then I realized he had a broccoli and a potato
I also liked this hand:

What do you do in this situation?
Poker etiquette...important subject for professional players like OP was at the time:

As you're waiting for him to look at his cards, the drinks lady walks past and asks you if you want a drink. You want to make a very complex order that will probably take 20-30 seconds to explain and pay for, but you don't want to keep everyone else at your table waiting.
Which is better:
1) Acting out of turn and mucking your cards before speaking to the drinks lady.
2) Ordering your drinks and letting everyone else on the table wait for you.
This still remains unresolved:

I get really paranoid about this.
Much love, 6bet me! Whatever you do right now, may the force be with you!
