Protecting my hand- am I doing this right? 'Cause it feels ooky

[Jingleheimer]

Pacific 2/4
Sadly, I cannot beat this game.

89o in BB
4 limpers and me to see flop, SB folds

flop Q69r
checked to last player who bets. I raise, call, reraise, fold, call, I call, call.

Turn 8
I check, check, check, bet. I raise, fold, reraise, call. I cap, call, call.

River J
I bet, raise, call, I call.

My thoughts looking in after the fact.
Is this pot too small to protect my hand? I figured I had 5 clean outs to two pair or better plus the back door straight. I looked at the WWED bracelet on my wrist and raised since the bet came from my immediate right.

But the hand protection program goes all awry to a check-reraise. Clearly I have to call this bet, right?

The turn is my dream card and I get my check-raise in only to have the same clown check-reraise me (which is a pretty sweet move to get to work twice in a row).

Comments?
