Default KJs makes top pair and meets resistance

Ok, another case where I have no idea whether my play was retarded, mediocre or brilliant. I have no reads here, less than ten hands at the table.

Please critique.

PokerStars 0.05/0.10 Hold'em (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. MP3 posts a blind of $0.05.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 (poster) checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, Button calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls, MP1 calls, MP3 folds.

Is limping ok, or should I raise?

Flop: (10.40 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, Button calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP1 folds, CO calls, Button calls.

What I was hoping for was to have CO bet and knock button out, and then knock MP1 out myself with a check-raise. Then I'd be HU with the preflop raiser. Nice plan I guess, but didn't work.

Turn: (8.20 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero calls, CO calls.

Button's raise was unexpected and unpleasant. I have a hard time putting him on any likely hand here. Not to mention that I'm not sure if I'm even ahead of CO at this point.

River: (14.20 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, CO checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO folds, <font color="#CC3333">Button 3-bets</font>, Hero calls.

Cool, I improve. Either I beat his two-pair or lose to his set. I don't really like my play here, but I'm not sure. I almost capped it, but wimped out. Also, should I just bet? Or check/call, hoping that CO overcalls?

Final Pot: 20.20 BB
