definitely raise the flop and probably check turn

PREFLOP: Whether to raise or not with this hand depends on the quality of players that limped in front of you. Calling is just fine IMO.

FLOP: Given the size of this pot, It is close between betting right into the raiser hoping he will raise with a hand like QQ,AJ,TT to free up your King outs, or just checking and calling. Checking and calling here is also an acceptable play IMO. I would not checkraise this flop since your draw is really not that strong, you could easily be drawing to a split pot, if you had a two card OESD or a flush draw then I Like checkraising the whole field.

TURN: Checking and calling looks right to me

RIVER: You must bet, since the villain will only bet a full house or better on this board, if he's decent,which is why going for a checkraise here would be horrible.

I think you played this hand very well on every street IMO.
