Default $5NL 6m: a non-standard hand

A completely non-standard hand, for a change. I'd like to know whether you agree with my thought process, given my reads.

UTG is a donkey, calling down and minbetting with stuff like bottom and middle pair.

BB is pretty good. Usually aggressive, though he likes to slowplay sometimes like every other 5NL player out there.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (6 handed) internettexasholdem.com

SB ($1.97)
BB ($6.46)
UTG ($2.15)
MP ($1.96)
Hero ($5)
Button ($2.57)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.02, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $0.02, Button calls $0.02, SB completes, BB checks.

Q9o is at the bottom of my limping range. It does get me into trouble postflop, but that's good for my skills there, no? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Flop: ($0.10) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $0.02</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.12</font>, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls $0.12, UTG calls $0.10.

Okay, I flop TP3K. I take no notice of UTG's minbet at all. So I raise, see what happens, price out the flush draw. I haven't been getting a lot of respect for my raises, mostly because I haven't won a pot at this table yet (card dead). BB's flatcall scares me, a lot. BB is good, and wouldn't be doing that without at least top pair. I still disregard UTG's call.

Turn: ($0.46) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $0.02</font>, Hero calls $0.02, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to $0.06</font>, UTG calls $0.04, Hero calls $0.04.

So I'm just wanting to slow down here. Disregard UTG's bet again, and BB check-raises. However, the pot is at $0.5 now, I'm probably drawing to a 5-outer (nines or queens), so calling 0.04 cents into it is actually correct, not even taking implied odds into account.

River: ($0.64) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets $0.26</font>, UTG calls $0.26, Hero calls $0.26.

I actually hit one of my five outs. I think I made the only mistake in the hand here. Not raising for value.

Final Pot: $1.42
