Posting stats/reads and history with our opponent helps us better analyze the hand.

Unless villain is really bluffy here it's a clear fold - think about what hands you actually beat that a 'decent' player will bet here?

Villain turned out to be a 31/21/4 after 100 hands ... fold to flop bet was 50%.

I just didn't see a way with that card hitting that I was ahead in the hand in the river...

i don't really like making a stand with this hand. the way to play back at aggressive villains isn't to build a huge pot when you have a very marginal hand (both preflop and postflop). at least sb vs bb you have the chance to outplay villain since you have position, so flat calling is often fine (tho not with kto). if you are going to 3 bet this, i like a check behind on the flop or you are losing control of pot size.

Fold preflop or at most cold call. KTo is too easily dominated.

Check behind on flop. you don't have a big hand but it has showdown value, the pot is large and you're not really folding much that beats you.

If you really insist on raising preflop and cbetting, i think you need to go ahead and double barrel the turn.

Folding the river is good. Any decent A beats you with better 2 pairs or a straight.

I think folding is weak here in sb vs bb situation. I fold 0% of Small Blinds opening into my Big Blind at 6max unless the guy is super tight and never stealing. I 3bet all sorts of stuff like 27o, etc just b/c the SB is usually opening super light in 6max games and I will have position postflop. I flat call here with the KT and most likely try to take it away postflop since, like u said, its easily dominated by villains calling range. Until a villain shows me that they are good enough to raise the SB and play a 3bet OoP i will just continue to hammer away at them.
