The hand that started it all (semi-bragging)

Have you ever had that hand that totally changes a cash game? You know, the one that's nothing special, but very memorable. Here's the jist of it, though I don't have exact hand details.
About a week and a half ago I'm puttering around with the bonus at casino.net. You can clear it at any stakes, and for a variety of reasons I'm playing .25/.50 Draw. The game's obviously a bit loose, but not really crazy. Most of the people are taking longshot draws and betting when their ship comes in. So basically I'm slowly grinding up a couple bets here and there by playing monsters and watching them miss bad draws. Typical stuff.
The guy under the gun limps and it's folded around to me in the big blind with an open ended straight draw, TJQK. He takes two, I take one and pair the ten. This guy's a complete retard and he's been playing the table captain role for about forty five minutes, pushing people off missed draws. I figure he drew to a small pair plus a kicker again, so I bet into him. I mean, I can fold if he raises because he never does that without a complete hand, and I likely have something he was fishing for in my hand.
He calls and shows AKQ75. Game on! I swear, the next hour or so seemed like that South Park with the dance competition. Oh, it's on. Now the other three guys at the table know he'll draw to broadway and he's been robbing them blind. They suck, but they're not stupid. The next hand he loses when he bets 33 in the blind and gets called by 88. 44 vs TT, and so it begins.
He's not losing every hand, but I think he's losing every other one. He burns through almost thirty bucks before he leaves! I was amazed. I mean, I'm playing even tighter than before now that war's been declared, and I swipe a pot off him here and there. Those other guys worked him over though. Now people are raising with the single goal of getting heads up with the bank, and it's working. The first person to show any interest in him ends up heads up and everyone else folds.
And goddamn is he showing down some trash now, queen high, pair of deuces. I'm laughing my ass off because the Passive People (tm) are raising him for value by the end. I think that one shitty call he made on me forcing him to show his cards cost him about 60 bets in the long run when the fish started carving him up.
