Default (5.50 Stars) Confused on how to play turn and river.

Villain sees a lot of flops, is aggressive after the flop and goes to show down a lot.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t100 (5 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1835)
CO (t5665)
Button (t3330)
SB (t415)
Hero (t2255)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG calls t100, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, Hero checks

Flop: (t250) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">Hero bets t200</font>, UTG calls t200

Turn: (t650) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks

River: (t650) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">Hero bets t100</font>, <font color="red">UTG raises to t200</font>

1. Should I have bet the turn?
2. How was my river bet?
3. What do I do after villain's raise on the river?

I bet flop, then check call it down for pot control. I want to win if I can, but not get to far behind UTG if I lose.

What has he been showing down with? TPTK+ only, or middle and bottom pair as well?

TPTK and Top pair with a weak kicker.

I think the flop bet is good here, but I'm going to agree w/ loxxii and recommend keeping it small after that. I don't think he's going to let go of this hand after calling on the flop.

So I should have checked the river even after hitting 2 pair?

I'm not really sure about the turn, but I think checking is all right. I would've bet a little more on the river, maybe about 200 or so for 1/3 of the pot.

I'm sorry... I'm an idiot and totally missed that. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
I think I would have bet ~400 on the river after you hit your second card, and then pushed to a re-raise.
