ATo - 4-handed - bottom pair

[Boolean]

Reads: The preflop cap, while loose, works against the BB. He's an extremely loose/aggressive with bluffing tendencies. I think he'd do this with any two cards given the right time of day. It also works because it makes the cold-callers call 2 cold again with their substandard hands.

SB is a LAP who's somewhat of a calling station post flop. He can find his raise button with great hands and will cap the flop if he has a monster. If he thinks his hand is best, he generally will bet it.

No reads on Button other than he's "short-stacked".

As I said before, given the read I have on BB, I think this cap is for value.

I've caught bottom pair with a gutshot. I raise to protect my hand and for the times I have the best hand.

SB donkbets the turn. He could have a queen, but I've seen stranger from him. He could also be slowplaying a straight. He could possibly have a draw and is representing the queens as well.

I miss, but I call because I think I'm good in this spot more than ~8% of the time.

Did I miss anything anywhere?
