Were your flop and turn checks and calls misclicks, too? This isn't a spew, it's just awful.

On the flop, you either think your hand is good or you don't. If you want to lead for $4, that's fine by me. If you want to check-raise to $15, that's OK, too. If you wnat to check-fold, I can live with that. Check-calling is...bad. Really. You'd like to know where you stand in this hand, and FAST. If he's got a better K, find out NOW by showing some backbone. This isn't limit -- you can't just call down and hope to get to a showdown cheaply. Make a play. It's four-handed, after all; UTG is going to be raising all KINDS of crazy stuff. Against his range, you're WAY ahead.

The turn is more of the same. You've got his ass in a sling -- fire it. As played, I'd go ahead and lead the turn. It's a nice, safe card -- hurt him. You went for a check-raise instead; OK, that's riskier than I'd prefer, but acceptable. Then you forgot to raise. Ugh, awful.

By the river, the poker gods have decided that you really, REALLY don't deserve this pot, so they give your opponent his three-outer. You check, he bets, you fold. You didn't get unlucky in this hand; you just gave the pot to the villain.

Don't do this again.

once he pots the flop, this pot is getting too large for me to play out of position with such a weak hand, even against a donk with those stats. i prefer a fold on the flop, but i guess a call is not out of the question if you think he's the type of player who gives up after firing c-bets with air. once he pots the turn, though, it's enough, i fold.
