Anybody struggle to win in live games while beating online easily?

Yes, it would be rare to find a live game that isn't going to seat up to 9 or 10 players. The only time live small stakes games seem to go shorthanded is right before they're about to break because many people don't want to play short.

this is my experience as well. either a)players are scared to play short or b)they don't want to pay full rake and the casino doesn't want to give a break.

I figured that, but I was wondering if this particular session was.

BTW, a small note. I've only had 4 sessions of IRL play, total of 20-25 hours, 3 2/4 sessions and today was my first 4/8 session. Although in that timeframe I'm down like a lot, $500ish :/ Some of those sessions were back before I was even playing seriously however (2 of them were before even reading 2p2 and realizing what a TAG was etc).

Back to the hand.
The TAG had limped behind others and decided to slowplay a set of 9s.

It was national slowplay day at my table (I'm not sure anybody who flopped 2-pair or better bet/raised the flop the entire session). I obviously didn't put him on the set of 9s, my big problem with calling/re-raising the river is that people at this table just weren't bluffing, or so I've seen. I figured he had to at least have a K he slowplayed and I was worried about my kicker at that point.
