OK, this was in my first round, so no real reads at the time. Should have raised preflop, should I have called/folded the turn as the board paired?

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, T.
Hero calls, MP folds, Button calls, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (4 SB) 6, 3, 5 (4 players)
SB bets, BB calls, Hero raises, Button folds, SB calls, BB calls.

Turn: (5 BB) 3 (3 players)
SB bets, BB calls, Hero raises, SB calls, BB calls.

River: (11 BB) 5 (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets, SB folds, BB calls.

Final Pot: 13 BB

Call the turn, raising is silly as there is a good chance of a 3-bet and almost no chance of getting both other players to fold. Also, by just calling you get better implied odds as he's likely to bet into you if you hit, lining up both other players for an extra bet.

Also by knocking people out preflop you lose much of the value of the suited/connecting aspect of the hand.

In late position, I'd raise with this hand.
