NeverFold

First time playing a ring game in a casino. I'm sure I played this hand all wrong, so please feel free to critique to help me learn.
2/4 Holdem at Bally's AC
Player info: UTG+1 TAG but is the only player that I noticed attempting to bluff on scary flops. The button is weak-tight, bets when he has something, checks when he doesn't.
I get K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif K /images/graemlins/heart.gif in the BB. 1 fold, UTG+1 limps, 4 more limp including the button, SB completes and I check? My thoughts were that if I raised no one would fold for another $2. I coulda built the pot, but I also woulda given away the strength of my hand.
Flop: J /images/graemlins/spade.gif J /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 4 /images/graemlins/club.gif (7 players)
SB checks, I check, checked around to button who bets. SB folds, I call, UTG+1 raises. Folded around to button who calls and I call.
Right now I'm thinking button has a Jack and UTG+1 was trying to steal. Was my initial check and both calls incorrect? Probably so if I put him on a Jack huh?
Anyway the turn is the K /images/graemlins/spade.gif and I get lucky and win a big pot after the turn is capped and river is 3-bet. UTG+1 folds on the river and button shows J /images/graemlins/heart.gif 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif.
How bad did I play this? And my apologies if any of this is confusing. First time describing a hand.
