My best hand ever -- 96s

<font color="blue"> Not sure if this was decent play or totally retarded. Feel free to pick on me mercilessly.

Haven't seen much of villain, but so far he's seemed pretty loose. </font>

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, SB completes, BB checks.

<font color="blue"> 96s is an almost okay limping hand when multiway at relatively passive table. </font>

Flop: (6 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, UTG+2 checks, MP1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB folds, BB folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, MP3 calls.

<font color="blue"> I have about enough outs to call (all 6s and 9s are probably good, plus BDFD and BDSD), but better to raise to protect and improve my winning chances. </font>

Turn: (5 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
MP3 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP3 calls.

<font color="blue"> Bonus! My BDFD is starting to come home. Villain may have just been taking a stab -- if I bet, he may fold. </font>

River: (7 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, Hero calls.

<font color="blue"> Villain came alive, but the board must play once in eight, right?

Could I have played this any better?

Final Pot: 9 BB
