Did I play pocket kings correctly?

I think I have a tendency to be weak to others' raises and too aggressive when I have something in fear that they will make their outrageous straight/flush/fullhouse/trips on the river, so I was wondering if I played it alright this time.

This is pacific poker, and I don't know if they store hand histories in computer so this is from my account.

hero is MP
UTG , UTG+1 limp .10
hero raises .40
CO, LP, MP call

flop: J 5 6 rainbow (1.80)
check
hero raises (.90)
CO reraises to 1.80
MP folds
hero calls

turn: 7 (6.90)
hero raises 4
CO calls

river: queen (14.50)
hero is all in (7.25)
CO calls.

raise a bit more preflop due to extra limpers.

after being checkminraised, I slowdown a bit on the turn.

how many callers am I looking to get preflop with kings?

Raise more pf , alot more. My standard raise when I played Pacific's NL10 was 10XBB+1 for each limper. It sounds like alot but you will still get callers. Bet the pot on the flop, if villian still minraises slowdown. JMO

you want to get alot of money in preflop without a lot of callers.
