zero_333 raises [$2].

I would just call here. It's a close decision between calling and raising, and it also depends on exactly how the previous limpers, the players left to act behind you, and the big blind play. Generally, a raise is best with a good (but not monsterous) hand if it tends to shut out good players and keep in bad players, and not the other way around. Against unknown/typical players, I would just call.

** Dealing Flop ** [ 8s, 9s, Js ]
FatDownSouth bets [$1].
ChevyP calls [$1].
zero_333 calls [$1].

I would fold TPTK here. Again, I think it is a close decision, this time between all three options. Calling here with the intention of raising the turn if a non-dangerous card arrives is a solid, even if a little conservative, play.

** Dealing Turn ** [ 9h ]
FatDownSouth bets [$2].
ChevyP calls [$2].
zero_333 raises [$4].

Given the actual action to this point, I think this is another close decision, in this case between calling and raising. I would lean towards raising. One might argue for a call in closing position (and a probable river call to close the action) since this may be a better use of 2 big bets (in total) than getting 3-bet on the turn and having to throw your hand away (or make crying calls through the nose to find out if your hand is good).

FatDownSouth calls [$2].
ChevyP calls [$2].
** Dealing River ** [ 2d ]
FatDownSouth checks.
ChevyP checks.
zero_333 bets [$2].

IMO, the only relatively clear decision during the hand. After both opponents call the turn and then check the river, I would go ahead and bet the river.
