Default Stars 20+2 : How was my line?

Play has been semi aggressive preflop..Extremely weak post flop. BB is a chaser and CO is donk plays any Ace rag or suited..

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t50 (6 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1420)
UTG+1 (t3190)
CO (t3640)
Button (t2050)
Hero (t1380)
BB (t1820)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, CO calls t50, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, Hero calls t25, BB checks

Flop: (t150) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="red">CO bets t50</font>, Hero calls t50, BB calls t50

Turn: (t300) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="red">CO bets t150</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t400</font>, BB calls t400, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>

River: (t1250) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">Hero bets t450</font>, <font color="red">BB raises to t900</font>, Hero ???

Obviously I am beat but have to call?? How should I have played differently?? I should raise the flop but with nothing on the board didn't think freecard hurts me unless I am already beat (ie set)..

Call here, but checkraise on the flop and get it all in on the turn. you cannot fold this hand now, you are way too commited and very possibly ahead.

I think fold pf is correct, though it probably isn't too terrible a call.

Lead flop. Lead flop. Lead flop. C/R is not good, C/C is just awful.

Lead turn.

Never slowplay two pair, a straight, or a flush on the flop. Just don't do it.

Lead your big hands, get paid by TPTK. This is really important to know. Don't check-raise. Don't slowplay.

Have to agree with above posts.

Fold pre flop, lead flop, lead turn, generally get it all in as fast as possible. There are ton of cards you don't want to see by the turn.

Also as played check raise the turn more, you are begging to be outdrawn here.
