Default Bottom two pair in an unraised pot

Poker Stars 20+2 with no reads on villain. Besides the check on the flop, how bad is this hand played? Would you call the turn bet? What's the play on the River? I had 1000 chips left at river.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) converter

Button (t1580)
SB (t800)
Hero (t1450)
UTG (t1955)
UTG+1 (t1090)
MP1 (t3950)
MP2 (t3670)
MP3 (t1690)
CO (t5880)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t50, MP2 calls t50, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero checks.

Flop: (t175) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks.

Turn: (t175) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t150</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t400</font>, MP2 folds, Hero calls t250.

River: (t975) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets t1150</font>.

I like leading out on flop for 125-150 and playing it there. With the way the hand played I think you're beat and have to fold the river, I also maybe would've reraised allin on turn but not quite sure.

Also, if the stacks were deeper does anyone do a blovking bet on river or do you just check/call?

I think checking the flop was a mistake but once done I think you played the rest of the hand fine.
When he raises your almost pot-sized bet on the turn I'd be worried and you have to lay it down on the river.
Although why would he play a str8 that way? I'd guess a set or two pair that beat your two.
