Small Overpair

Besides the pre-flop call which I think is borderline, against non but the most aggressive players I like the donk bet on the flop.

I'm not sure whats borderline about the flop call. It was one bet back to me in the big blind with 3 other players, giving me 7:1 to call. Had the mp1 been a tighter raiser, I would have still called with most pp's.

The paired board scared me a bit on the flop. My hand is extremely vulnerable. The only way I knew to protect my hand was to bet it out. If I would have checked the flop, it was almost garunteed that the utg+1 would have bet. He didn't usually miss the chance to try and stab at an uncontested pot. Since he is directly after me to act in this hand, it doesn't really help me by checking. It also shows weakness in my hand.
The turn gave me an oesd giving me another 8 outs. I had no issues betting through here again. Even if I was behind, I had plenty of redraw outs.

Paxo.. If the river is a 3, I might have check raised. I know some folks will raise the turn for a free showdown, I don't think this guy was that smart. I only saw him check through maybe 1 or 2 hands. Could I still be behind if I caught my 3, sure, but the way the hand was played, I didn't put any opponents on a boat from the 66 on the board. I think a c/r has good value on the river if a 3 hit.
