Default Stars $5.50, Flopped Straight on Bubble

Not really sure about this one. I assume the villain is calling regardless of how I play this. I had to shove given my line (which I know was horrible) but I think there may have been other, better ways to play this - preflop and post-flop. Any insight would be much appreciated - I seem to be perpetual bubble boy at the moment and it's a combination of playing badly and getting sucked out on, of which this hand is the perfect example:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (4 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

UTG (t3395)
Button (t6060)
Hero (t1585)
BB (t2460)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t100</font>, BB calls t50, UTG calls t50.

Flop: (t300) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t100</font>, BB calls t100, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t500</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1485</font>, BB folds, UTG calls t985.

Turn: (t3370) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t3370) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t3370

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
UTG has 9s Qd (full house, queens full of nines).
Hero has Kh Ts (straight, king high).
Outcome: UTG wins t3370. </font>

So am I right in thinking that both the [censored] raise preflop was terrible, and the [censored] bet on the flop was terrible? How should I be playing this?

Cheers
