Default KK with the nut flush draw - played too passively?

SB is 22/11/2.1

I'm trying to figure out if it would have been better to raise on the flop. I didn't in the end because SB's donk bet looked pretty strong against a short stack and me the inital raiser. Would anyone play this differently?

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.25/$0.50 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

SB: $88.40
BB: $65.25
UTG: $87.95
MP: $18.10
Hero (CO): $52.05
BTN: $51.85

Preflop: Hero is dealt K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (6 Players)
UTG folds, MP calls $0.50, <font color="red">Hero raises to $2.50</font>, BTN folds, SB calls $2.25, BB folds, MP calls $2.00

Flop: ($8) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $5.00</font>, MP calls $5.00, Hero calls $5.00

Turn: ($23) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $11.00</font>, MP calls all-in for $10.60, Hero calls $11.00

River: ($55.60) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 Players - 1 All-In)
SB checks, Hero checks

Pot Size: $55.60 ($2.75 Rake)

With sb's donk and a call in front of you, it is safe to say that KK is not good very often. Raising would not be a good play, imo. You're drawing for a flush or possibly a set.

On flop, you are getting decent odds to draw. You need to win a small bet once you hit to make it profitable, but that seems reasonable.

On turn, you have immediate odds to draw.

I guess hand is fine. It feels wrong, but I cant see any other way to play it. Maybe I am missing something, though?

I would play it the same, but I doubt you are good when the river whiffs.
