nh. My only slight nit is the flop c/r.

I understand your rationale and agree with it with some caveats. To protect via a c/r in a hand like this, the bet needs to come from late position. Yes, I know it did come from LP, but you said your rationale was that "somebody" would bet. If your gf or UTG bet instead of LP, your c/r would not have made their calls unprofitable and hence not protect your hand.

That being said, I suggest that if you think that the bet will come from LP, the c/r is fine - but if your not sure, I would rather lead out.

Again, nh.

In fact, with TPMK and a BDFD on a fairly uncoordinated board, what are you protecting FROM? You don't want the flop to go through without any bets going in, as you've likely got the best hand (if you were holding A9 or K9, it might be different)...bet for value, hope LP raises so you can 3-bet.
