I want to do a street-by-street analyies with my thought processes. Though it was a little convoluted on the river due to a mental lapse on my part I think it would be instructive to hear comments on any or all streets
MP 1 is TAG: 18/9/2 over only 60 hands, though.
MP3 is Loose/passive

Pre Flop: (1.5 SB) Hero is UTG with 9 : 9 :
Hero calls, 2 folds, MP1 raises, 1 fold, MP3 calls, CO calls, 3 folds, Hero calls
I mix it up with 99, 50 % limps, 50% raises from EP. The call of the raise behind is standard, though I am a bit wary since raiser is TAG.
Flop: (9.5 SB) T : 9 : K : (4 players) Hero bets, MP1 calls, MP3 calls, CO folds
I donked here becuase with the SD on board I was afraid of it being checked around. Afterwards I realized that MP1, being TAG, would prolly bet out. My bad.
Bad card for me. I decide to slow down and check/call. I don't want to be raised. Of course by checking it can be argued that I am risking giving away a free card on this street, too. but I felt confident at this point that TAG would bet out.
I played too fast here and clicked 'check' before fully realizing I had a boat. Opps. Thank god MP1 bet, and so I raised. Had I been more alert I would have simply bet out. Maybe get raised by villain who turned over JJ.

Pre-Flop: I don't mix it up, so I would just raise.
Flop: As played, I LOVE the donk bet
Turn: I like it
River: Doh! Definetely would have bet out there.

Sklanski's (SSHE )range in this situation is AA-TT so my mixing it up is a compromiose. After reading many post with our regulars raising 99 EP I decided to try this compromise between the chart and what players are actually doing. I may change down the line, but right now I am profitable with this holding at 1.05 BB/hand over 5800 hands.
