So... You're playing a 9-stone game with white. How do you start? Post your interesting 9-stone handicap openings here!

I have never seen anybody else do it, but I like to open at the 7-6 point :). Grab some early influence, maybe set up a an early crosscut fight, give your opponent the opportunity to make mistakes. For example:

I'd rather play a normal low approach on a hoshi stone, as a H9 game is a teaching game, by design.
For :w3:, it all depends on how black answers.

if the difference is 9 stone...you really dont need to think about an opening.
mistake usually happens during middle fighting stage.
