Default Getting Away From Losing Hands

I've only played about 3K hands 6 max so I'm still trying to plug leaks. I'm finding it hard to get away from hands I would routinely dump in full games, in large part to the higher aggression levels at 6 max. Especially 2nd. pair good or top kicker situations. I know I misplayed this hand, I'm not sure how early I should have dumped it. Should I have folded on the turn raise or taken the card and then folded the river?

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

Flop: (8 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP calls, SB folds, BB folds.

Turn: (5 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises</font>, Hero calls.

River: (9 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP bets</font>, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 11 BB

Default Re: Getting Away From Losing Hands

On the turn, if you are beat you are drawing nearly dead.
Is MP superaggressive that will bluff this turn over 30% of the time? If MP is an average player, you will lose this hand enough times that calling 2 more bets for a showdown is too expensive.
This is why you usually bet this turn instead of check-calling. It costs almost one less BB if you are beat.
