PokerStars: Hold'em No Limit ($0.01/$0.02) -

I am dealt Kc QC in the big blind.

Player in early position who is usally pretty loose raises to .10 and gets one caller. I call the .08 from the big blind.

Flop comes: 5d Tc Qh

With top pair and a good kicker, I didn't want anyone to draw out on me, so I raised to .50 hoping the loose player would call, which he did. Other player folds.

Turn comes: Kd

I now have top two pair, so I bet $1.50. Loose player calls again with his final $1.08 and is all in.

River comes: 8h

I didn't think this card could have helped him, so I thought I was sitting good.

He turns over Jc 9c, for a King high straight.

Could I or should I have played this hand differently?

no, and no. Tough luck, but nice hand regardless.
