Comments on any street welcomed. I'm pretty sure the fold on the turn is correct but did I make a mistake for going this far?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (2 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

BB (t3568)
Hero (t4432)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Hero calls t200, BB checks.

Flop: (t800) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] [color=#0000FF](2 players)</font>
BB checks, [color=#CC3333]Hero bets t400</font>, [color=#CC3333]BB raises to t800</font>, Hero calls t400.

Turn: (t2400) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] [color=#0000FF](2 players)</font>
[color=#CC3333]BB bets t1600</font>, Hero folds.

I might check this flop. Yeah the turn fold seems mandatory with this line.

Short stack is just less than 9 BBs. This is well within the range where an optimal push or fold strategy works well. Kx is a pushable hand when the short stack is less than 10 BBs, so I would have pushed PF.

what he said

Hello. I would have raised preflop. Given the circumstances at the flop (after your bet), I would have folded to the check raise...unless my read on the BB was that he/she is a poor player. Given the circumstances at the turn (after the BB bet), I would have folded exactly as you did.
