SB is a 26/19/32%(2.8) over 100 hands
BB is a 24/24/20% who 3-bets 10% over 30 hands

Thoughts on my line & bet sizing?

full tilt poker, $0.25/$0.50 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 5 Players

BB: $50 (100 bb)
MP: $50 (100 bb)
CO: $59.85 (119.7 bb)
Hero (BTN): $55.45 (110.9 bb)
SB: $52.70 (105.4 bb)

Pre-Flop: Hero is BTN with K♠ Q♦
2 folds, Hero raises to $2, SB calls $1.75, BB raises to $7.50, Hero calls $5.50, SB calls $5.50

Flop: ($22.50) 3♥ 2♠ K♣ (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($22.50) 3♥ 2♠ K♣ 6♦ (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $18.25, SB calls $18.25, BB folds

River: ($59) 3♥ 2♠ K♣ 6♦ 6♠ (2 players)
SB bets $26.95 and is all-in, Hero calls $26.95

Looks fine. Calling the 3-bet in position against someone who seems to be capable of 3-betting light and could well be squeezing is cool. Checking the flop and leading turn actually makes our decision easier when SB shoves river because we've underrepped our hand, whereas if we were check-raised on the flop or shoved into on the turn we would probably be a little stuck for ideas. As played, SB's range is basically monsters or air, and he surely would be looking to bet the turn with a monster with a view to getting it all in on the river.

So yeah, looks good from here. I happily call river expecting to take this down at least two-thirds of the time.
