Did I play this right?

How many tables were you at when you almost timed out? Dont play too many tables when you are just starting out, its much more important to work on grasping the fundamentals and developing your play than trying to play more tables.

Four. It's rarely a problem; only if I get a couple of hands that require extra attention at the same time.

It's a constant search for balance. Playing 4xtables is giving me quite a lot of profit and letting me try lots of stuff during the 45 "beginner days" at Party.
On the other hand focusing on just one table would allow me to practice other things in more depth.

I made the mistake of playing on two different sites the other day. Stupid software jumped over the top of another window to show me a flop (in the hand I folded) and the other table auto-folded AA. Nearly tilted after that one.

Even if you are almost timing out, take a split second to move the slider to a potsized raise. On a draw heavy board like this you need to be raising to the size of the pot, everybody in this hand is getting odds to make a flush, straight, etc.

If I could have, I would have.
With time running out and risking autofolding 2p I decided it best to get any raise in.

Im not sure what the pot is, but this bet seems better. Run your hands through a converter, that makes them much easier to analyze

It's over-betting the pot with the aim of getting the result I should have got on the flop.
I didn't realise the converter would handle the PT dump. But it does, which is cool.

As played I think you either should be checking behind or making a little bigger bet for value. You bet $1 on the turn, and then on the river with a bigger pot you make the same bet.

Well, to be honest I was mostly trying for a bet I thought he'd call. I considered it unlikely he had a straight as KA would have probably raised pf. Didn't really consider 89. Which was stupid.
