Default K9s missed flop

i'm posting this because it's a common situation i run into. i have overcards but several callers and i miss the flop. is the way i played this standard? i seem to bet the flop and fold the turn like this not only because on the turn it's more likely a better hand is out, but because the bet doubles as well.

first hand, so no reads yet.

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is MP with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO calls, Button calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (10.50 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, CO folds, Button folds, BB calls, UTG folds.

Turn: (6.25 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks.

River: (6.25 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB folds.

Final Pot: 7.25 BB

Postflop is fine.

not a fan of the raise preflop. with a limper already the pot will often be 3-4 handed, and you may find yourself out of position. not a good spot for K9s.

I probably bet the turn -- the odds of you being best here are certainly non-zero, and I would hate to give a hand like 87 a free card to beat me.

The raise pre-flop here is standard -- I would have to figure the looseness range of a table being too loose to be able to raise for isolation but too tight to raise for value being very tiny. K9s is fairly marginal, but I would figure it to be profitable on a loose table (maybe some advanced computerized analysis would prove that one way or the other). It is probably close enough to not matter if you raise or fold here.

my caution on the turn is that i have King high not Ace high, and ace-rag is very popular at these limits to play.

*shrug*

I don't see much value in it. To each their own, I play pretty passively preflop compared to some. I even open limp.
