Hi, I would like to hear opinions about this hand.
I had trip 9 in dry flop and decided to donk it relatively big from the BB because there were many players in the hand including the fish, and I think that donking it would disguise the strenght of my hand more than if I check-raise.
The fish calls and the TAG from the SB makes a relatively small raise. At that time I became almost convinced that SB might have a pair of fives for a full house. And this might have been where I started playing the hand badly.
I think that i should have either folded the flop after the SB raise or folded the turn, or called it all the way down to the river (specialy when the river is another 5).
