I had a little trouble with this hand, not sure how I should've approached it. Reads are as follows: CO is typically loose passive but has been playing Laggy trying to get people off hands, UTG seems a bit loose but somewhat decent post flop, no read on SB (hasn't done anything crazy at this point).

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, J/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls.
Flop: (9 SB) K/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">CO raises</font>, SB folds, UTG folds, Hero calls.
Turn: (6.50 BB) 3/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">CO bets</font>, Hero calls.
River: (8.50 BB) 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">CO bets</font>, Hero folds.
Final Pot: 9.50 BB
My questions are as follows: Should I have just check-called this flop or was betting out ok? I wasn't really sure what to do, so since I raised PF I figured I'd bet and maybe induce some folds (I figured CO probably would call, but the rest may fold). When I pick up the 2nd nut flush draw on the turn should I have played things differently? Bet out or C/R instead of check-calling? Finally, I'm pretty sure folding the river was bad considering this guy was getting a little out of line earlier trying to bluff people, however against normal opponents is it still a bad fold? Any input is appreciated.
