Default Standard Rope-a-Dope or Southern-Fried Donkified?

Early during a PS$10. Table watched me triple up when my flopped straight holds up against a flopped set and pocket kings.

Looking for a line check here. Am I way outta line or is this standard?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

UTG+1 (t1395)
MP1 (t1910)
Hero (t4830)
MP3 (t1720)
CO (t1395)
Vilian(t1305)
SB (t2835)
BB (t1440)
UTG (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero calls t30, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Vilian calls t30, SB completes, BB checks.

I know open limping isn't the most likely the best course of action, any other lines here? Can't see folding but not sure if raising is right.

Flop: (t120) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t90</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Vilian raises to t180</font>, SB folds, BB folds, Hero calls t90.

I figured this was a great Flop and most likely missed 'em. Seen a LOT of the mini-raises in these type of situations and it's rarely been a strong indicator at these levels.

Turn: (t480) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Vilian bets t240</font>, Hero calls t240.

1/2 pot seemed weak but he could be drawing me in, thoughts?

River: (t960) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Vilian bets t300</font>

Hero makes easy call for a 1560 pot?

Even smaller than the Turn action, either a monster (which aren't under my beds) or he's just looking for me to fold, sure as heck didn't leave himself much behind [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
