Re: black 9s
Cap preflop. You have the best hand a large majority of the time. I think not capping is a significant error.
Bet the flop. Hopefully the maniac will raise and clear the field and then you can take your chances at showdown. Also, you get more information about SB's hand. Like if maniac raises and SB 3 bets, you can toss your hand away right there.
