Default Hi, I wasted all my chips on a draw

$50+$5. Is there anything I can do better here? I had seen the MP fold when bet into on the flop so I tried it with my draw. Unfortunately he raised the minimum and I didn't know what to do next except call (I know not to call with draws in NL but I figured with my implied odds I'm getting about 7 to 1 to double up here, how can I fold?). Then same problem again on the turn. Next thing I know I've blown the whole tournament on a stupid draw. What should I have done differently?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) converter

MP (t1455)
CO (t830)
Button (t630)
SB (t4325)
Hero (t1400)
UTG (t1360)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to t200</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB calls t150, Hero calls t100.

Flop: (t600) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t300</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to t600</font>, SB folds, Hero calls t300.

Turn: (t1800) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP bets t300</font>, Hero calls t300.

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
I hit my goofy straight on the river and doubled up.
MP has Kc Kh (one pair, kings).
Hero has Th 9h (straight, queen high).
Outcome: Hero wins t2700. </font>
