It is quite likely I played this atrociously, but I'd like to hear your comments.

PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.10/$0.25 - 6 players

UTG: $25.82 (103 bb)
MP: $25.61 (102 bb)
CO: $24.55 (98 bb)
BU: $33.56 (134 bb)
SB: $29.72 (119 bb)
BB (Hero): $26.84 (107 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.35) Hero is BB with 5♠:K♠:
2 players fold, CO raises to $0.50, 2 players fold, Hero calls $0.25 This would clearly be a fold, but I'm getting extremely good pot odds

Flop: ($1.10) Q♦:5♦:J♠: (2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks

Turn: ($1.10) T♣: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.72, CO calls $0.72 CO doesn't seem to want the pot, so I attack the check

River: ($2.54) 3♥: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.97, CO folds Why bet/fold is the preferred option.

Total pot: $2.54 (Rake: $0.11)
BB (Hero) wins $2.43

So the things this hand is an example of:
:diamond:  BB can defend extremely wide against a min-raise heads-up
:diamond:  Attack the check. If raised, I'm happy to get the hell out of Dodge
:diamond:  Bet/Fold > check/call In this hand I'm suspecting opponent had pp between 66 - 99, but we'll never know.

Against 95% players I would never consider folding this hand to 2.5bb open from EP and you want to fold K5s against CO?

CO doesn't seem to want the pot, so I attack the check

Why not check/call turn with showdown value + oesd? You can always turn your hand into bluff on river and 66-99 will fold anyway.

Why bet/fold is the preferred option.

Its not, because check/call is not an option after you bet on turn. Opponent range will be Tx/Jx heavy. However I agree that after betting turn you should follow up on river, but I would use bigger sizing. You should target those Tx/Jx to fold, 66-99 should fold to every bet.
