I recently discovered that I was playing weak tight and have started working on being more aggressive with flops such as middle pair which I would always check fold. I know I played this hand poorly but at which point?

Preflop: Hero is SB with 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls, Hero completes, BB checks.
A week ago this was an auto fold for me, the problem was too many hands were also auto fold. Should I let this go and look for hands like 97s or 57s instead?

<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB folds, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls.
I have middle pair and I want to get away from always giving up here. Is betting out wrong? Should have checked and saw what action there is? Maybe check raise a bet from the button and bet out the turn?

<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP3 folds, CO calls, <font color="CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero calls, CO folds.
Well I think my call is some what loose here. I have 6 outs (4 twos and 2 nines) and there are 8 BB's at the time of the raise so it's not a huge error.
River: (9.50 BB) 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls.
River bet seems retarded in retrospect but I guess he only has to fold 15% of the time. Wasted BB? Anyways at what point this go wrong? Was there one street played correctly? Make all insults funny.
Final Pot: 11.50 BB

Hero shows 5h 9h (two pair, nines and fours).
Button shows 3c Ah (two pair, aces and fours).
Outcome: Button wins 11.50 BB. </font>
