Default $6 two pair flop, downhill from there

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

MP2 (t1500)
MP3 (t1480)
CO (t1540)
Button (t1180)
SB (t1460)
Hero (t1500)
UTG (t1480)
UTG+1 (t1700)
MP1 (t1660)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t20, MP1 calls t20, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls t20, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero checks.

Flop: (t90) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t50</font>, UTG+1 calls t50, MP1 folds, MP3 folds.

Turn: (t190) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t100</font>, UTG+1 calls t100.

River: (t390) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero?</font>

Where if at all do I slow down? Flush at the turn? Board pair on the river?

Will a bigger turn bet get a guy off his K?

I find myself in this spot from time to time and i like to bet 1/2 - 3/4 pot. What do you think he has? I can see a K here or the obvious flush. I think if you check, you look weak and he will fire out a bet that you have a hard time calling.

I would check and call any bet t200 or smaller. This early in the tourney you'll see Axo where the A is a heart and the X is jack s**t sometimes, maybe enough to make it worthwhile. I don't see much value in a bet; pocket pairs bigger than 9s would have raised preflop and someone who only had a pair of 9s or smaller would have a hard time calling the flop, turn and river here. I would think they'd lay down the turn.

I'd bet t60-80 on the flop and as played maybe t140 on the turn. He might or might not fold, who knows but I feel t140 has more FE than t100. You don't beat anything but a bluff on the river, I'd check/call up to maybe t200. It might be weak but so is the play on later rounds and you still have t1350 left.

Bet bigger on the flop and turn. Bottom 2 pair is a hand that needs to be protected as much as possible.

On the river you now beat very little. I would check and fold to all but a very small bet.
