I figure I am likely best here, I don't see how that offsuit 9 helps him at all. He is pretty loose, but not a complete donk as far as I could tell. If he donks me on the river again I lay it down, the plan is to check behind unimproved.

I probably check-raised a little too much there, but I figured $15 more into a now $55 pot would be callable with 8x, xAd etc. What would be a better line here, donk the turn? Check-call, then donk the river?

This happened to me 4 times tonight (all with KK or AA). 3-5 limpers before me, I throw in a pot-sized bet and not one call. Anyone raise less in situations like this? I was tempted to the last time, but I really don't want to raise too small and then get everyone calling.

His flop bet and small turn bet reeked of a missed AK/AQ so I figured I'd try to steal it. Is that a good enough sized check-raise or should I hammer down on him harder?
