Default Did I out fish the fish?

Stars 3-6 6 max. Fairly typical loose passive table.
I limp UTG with 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. This move has often resulted in a family pot at this table. (Not usually me limping)

MP raises. (Leaving him with 4.00).
CO calls.
Button calls.
SB folds.
BB 3 bets.

I call thinking that it is almost certain that all will be getting 5-1 on a hand that plays well multi-handed. This is literally the first hand that the BB played so I have no read on him but I tentatively put him on AA-QQ, AKs, possibly AKo or JJ.

MP raises his last $1.00.
All call. 5 to the flop. Pot=$51 - rake

Flop:
7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]j [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

BB bets.
I raise. I figure that I have 9 outs and the 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]s may be dirty. I am hoping at this point to maybe get overcards (specifically KQ) to fold.

CO folds.
Button calls.
BB reraises.
I call. At this point I am pretty confident that the BB has an overpair, but I am getting huge odds on the call here.
Button calls.

3 to the turn. Pot=$78 - rake.
Turn:
8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

Perfect!
BB bets.
I raise. I'm thinking the pot is HUGE I want it between me and the overpair who is probobly drawing dead at this point, but will certainly call down.
Button folds.
BB calls.

2 to the river. Pot=$102-rake
River:
2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

BB checks.
I bet.
BB calls.

Final pot: $126-rake

BB shows his QQ. MP mucks.
So was I a fish? I'm most concerned about calling two cold pre-flop, but I feel that I had the odds.

If you are a fish, you make King Carp rank with this play.

While may question ever limping UTG, your reasoning for doing so is very sound. The PF limp is the only questionable play.

Flop onwards played perfectly. I don't see the point of going for the overcall on the Turn as you are vulnerable to some cards that your opponent would like to see cheep (2 x [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or any Q).

Well played.

No. Good on every street.
