Default Where Else (Besides River) Did I Screw Up?

Early in a Party 10+1. Around 1600 players left. Blinds at 10/20. No read on Villain here.

My river bet was somewhat of a blocking bet, and I planned to fold to a reraise. For some reason, because he bet less than all-in, I changed my mind.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (10 handed) converter

UTG (t1330)
UTG+1 (t1370)
UTG+2 (t2865)
MP1 (t750)
MP2 (t5150)
MP3 (t1140)
CO (t790)
Button (t385)
Hero (t1125)
BB (t1385)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP1 calls t20, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls t20, CO calls t20, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t100) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t80</font>, BB folds, MP1 folds, MP3 calls t80, CO calls t80.

Turn: (t340) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t175</font>, MP3 folds, CO calls t175.

River: (t690) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t150</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t375</font>, Hero calls t225.

Final Pot: t1440

Looks fine, blocking bet at the end looks especially weak because it was less than the turn bet. Bet 200 and it looks more normal. I'm guessing he had some sort of T?

That's a good point. I guess a blocking bet that small is asking for a reraise.

ya besides river looks good.. his raise on the river is giving you pretty good odds so it looks like he wants you to call here, but i'm gonna pay him off if he has a T.

Is this to induce a bluff from a busted draw? Also, I suppose, to get a free showdown from an extremely passively played AK. This makes a lot of sense, as I did note the two very likely draws he could have had here.

I probably check/fold the turn and check/call a blank river if the turn gets checked through. Against 4 opponents and getting called in 2 spots on the flop, I don't think your hand is good here that often.

River is an easy fold, though.

I don't like check/folding the turn here very much at all.
