Default Very early in FW 500+65 tourney with KK..

I posted this but wanted to get some responses. So hear goes.

This was my first live NL tournament. Starting stacks are 1500 blinds were 25/25.

This is the 3rd hand of the tourney and I was in the BB with KK and my original 1500 in chips.

It is folded to the button who doubled up on the first hand with 96s on a suited flop vs. QQ.

Anyway, Button limps, SB checks and I raise to 100.

Button Calls and SB folds.

Flop comes T 6 2 with 2 clubs. Pot is now 225

I bet out 200, Button calls.

Turn is an As, I bet out 225, button Calls.

River is a 2 of spades and I check, Button checks.

I get shown A4s in clubs and he takes the pot with A's over 2's.

Did I make a mistake by not betting the river?

Was my turn bet too small given the Buttons 3000 chip stack?

I think I needed to bet more on the turn but he now has top pair with a flush draw and I don't think he is laying it down. Granted I have given smaller flushes better odds to call. He had to call 225 into a 800 chip pot.

I have been wondering if there was anyway I could've either won the hand or bled off less my stack. I really never recovered enough after this hand to do much of anything.

Thanks

Hotrod

I'd say you had little chance of betting him off his draw on the flop, and no chance of chasing him away when the A hit.

You lost as little as possible on the hand

You played it fine. If anything, checking the river is ideal. If you bet, you arent getting called by a worse hand. However, if you check, villain might bluff at the pot with a busted flush draw, or a smaller pair, and you can pick it off. (Of course, you won't call a very large bet, but a small one is reasonable to call if you think theres a chance he's bluffing).

Sucks you got drawn out on, but you played it as well as you could.
