Default Should I have bet stronger?

I don't really ever play tournaments, so I don't know if this is standrd or what.

Hero mucked K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and LOST (-580 NET)
Should I have bet harder the whole way or was this just bound to happen?



I know usually showing results is taboo, but the results are the basis for my question.

Do you call the river here? Is there really any way to put him on the straight draw? I was thinking weaker nine the whole way.

Looking back, I should have bet the turn stronger, but as I said I though I was suckering along a weaker 9.
