I showed this hand to my roommate who felt I was underbetting each street. How do you feel? Thanks

I have to agree with your roommate, you're definitely under betting all streets.
On the flop, ~4 is good. Turn, ~6-6.5 is good. On the river, you can bet a couple dollars more, $12-13 is good.

Nah, I'm not. Villain had a weaker K most of the time.

yes - you could definitely bet more on all streets, but it all depends on villain.

If you bet 3.5$ on the flop I think 55-QQ and of course a lower K sticks around.

I dont hate your bet on the turn but it all comes down to your villain. Is he aggressive or passive?

If he is aggressive it's most likely that he is not holding the K here. Then I think your bet size is fine - he might even mistake your lowish bet for weakness and raise with 88-QQ.

If however the villain is passive you should bet more and punish him for having too loose a calling range pre flop. This guy probably has a Kx and now we will punish him for that. Bet 6-8$ on turn.

FWIW - I call the river with no reads here.
