SB is 50% to the flop. Button is bad but not that bad.
Neither player is overly aggressive postflop. What is my play from the turn onward? I really am not happy with my turn call as even when I hit my straight, it is often only good for a split. I think I should muck this on the turn. Other opinions?

If u are sure SB got a better hand you should fold turn. If not, u have to call river. River is pretty ok card for you, K2 and K9 are now behind.

Unless SB is really passive I would normally call both. U got 5 outs for 2 pair or trips and 4 outs for straight and if he got lower 2pair there are 6 cards that will kill it. These outs aint clean but with the small chance that you are ahead or at least in a split situation I would guess its an ok call. But of course, it sure looks like u are behind and of course its playerdependent.
