96s button

[Justin A]

UTG raises, three people cold call, I call on the button with 96dd, both blinds call. 7 ways for two bets. Is this too loose? I sometimes forget how to play preflop.

CO is the relevant player in this hand, he plays too loose in general but not completely out of line. Earlier he played a hand where he defended his blind with QT, check called an 8 high flop, J on turn gets checked through, and he successfully bluffed a king river.

Flop is A85 with two diamonds. I think the 8 was the offsuit card but it might have been the 5. Checked to CO who bets, I call, SB calls, and one limper calls. SB and limper almost certainly don't have anything good here.

Turn is an offsuit 2. Checked to CO who bets, I call, others fold.

River is a 6. CO bets and I call.
