Party Poker 30/60 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

I would later discover that the button in this hand was playing trash very aggressively preflop, i.e. raising from MP with 54o, 76o... In one of those hands he trapped me, I played back at him aggresively with KK and he had flopped a straight but waited until the river to drop the hammer on me. He was also calling raises with subpar hands.

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $30.
1 fold, Hero raises, 3 folds, Button calls, 1 fold, BB calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB bets, Hero calls, Button calls.

I planned to raise the turn if a safe card came off, and probably fold to a three-bet.

Turn: (5.25 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, Button calls, BB folds.

River: (7.25 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 9.25 BB

Comments on all streets appreciated.

I'm a little confused about the action. It lists "4 players" as being in on the flop and turn, but only you, BB and the button are mentioned. Were there really only 3 players, and only 2 on the river? I assume in is the poster in the CO who is causing the confusion. Did he fold preflop?

You are right. Too late to edit the post, sorry for the confusion, here is how went.

CO posted a late position blind, and folded to my raise preflop.

Flop was 3 way: BB lead, call, call.

Turn was 3 way: check, I bet, button calls, BB drops out.

River was heads up: I check/call the button's bet.
