Default Did I play this incorrectly?

this is at a $.50/$1 NL ring table at PokerStars. my read on CO is that he plays any ace aggressively and is just pretty loose in general. MP2 has played well and is up a good amount of money from playing tight & aggressive poker. he's a solid player, so it really scared me when he called on the turn. anyway, here it is:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (8 handed) converter

Button ($98.25)
SB ($11.35)
BB ($96.50)
UTG ($32.65)
UTG+1 ($46.20)
Hero ($85.80)
MP2 ($94.10)
CO ($11.80)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls $1, UTG+1 calls $1, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $2</font>, MP2 calls $2, CO calls $2, Button folds, SB calls $1.50, BB folds, UTG calls $1, UTG+1 calls $1.

Flop: ($13) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $4</font>, MP2 calls $4, CO calls $4, SB folds, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds.

Turn: ($25) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $22</font>, MP2 calls $22, CO calls $5.80 (All-In).

River: ($74.80) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font>
Hero checks, MP2 checks.

Final Pot: $74.80
<font color="#009B00">Main Pot: $42.40, between Hero, MP2 and CO.</font>
<font color="#009B00">Pot 2: $32.40, between Hero and MP2.</font>

any comments/suggestions/flames are welcome. please help me improve my game! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Call preflop, bet stronger on the flop, bet turn, check river (with the intention of folding)

Fold preflop. Two limpers ahead of you should indicate you don't have the best hand. This is not a very speculative hand either, it's more of a clasically dominated hand. Save these hands for opening in late position.

Just my two cents.

He has big suited cards in a mult-way. I don't play full-ring very often but I think I'd be willing to see a cheap flop in those circumstances.

PREFLOP: either limp, or raise with the intention of forcing people out

FLOP: bet real hard here...bottom 2 pair on a heavy drawing board needs serious protection

Once you bet the flop harder, you'll be able to guage MP2's hole cards a little easier. Your weak bet allows to many hands to stick around. Other than that, bet the turn hard and check the river.
