Default KQo 3/6 - Wha\' happened?

I've recently hit the 5k mark at 3/6 SH, and while I'm generally happy with my results, I feel as though I could definitely be playing a lot better, and am frequently finding myself in situations where I am confused.

Anyways, here is the hand, this one confused me a bit when it was all over. Fairly sure I butchered it.

No good read on Button, seems like the typical loose 3/6 player though. Have a few hands on BB, seems a little loose, is quite aggressive preflop, and is also decently aggressive postflop.

Party Poker (6 max, 6 handed)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Hero raises, <font color="#666666">2 folds, </font>Button calls, SB folds, BB calls.

Flop: (6.3 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero bets, Button raises, BB calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (6.1 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks, Button checks.

River: (6.1BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero bets, Button folds, BB raises, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 10.1BB

Flop: I'm not sure where I am, button could either have a made hand or is on a draw. Regardless, I call, intending to continue on the turn only if I hit my K or Q.

Turn: I decide to go for the check-raise for value here. If I bet into the button, he will likely only raise hands that beat me, in which case I don't really care whether BB is getting odds to chase. Since I figure any draws are likely calling here regardless with the large pot, I decide to check-raise for value.

River: Not pleased when it gets checked through, I bet the river for value, only to be surprised by a BB check-raise. Not really knowing what he could have, but figuring I've got him at least 10% of the time, I call.


Any comments on the actual play of the hand, or any comments on logical flaws in my thinking are appreciated.

Edit: Original pot size amounts were off.
