Default anything wrong with just checking the bb virtually always? NLTRN

I've been playing a few SNGs and HU tournaments lately, but not more than maybe 20 matches. However since many people are obviously abysmal I feel like I have quite the edge against most people just by abusing position and knowing hand values.

Now the thing is that against people how play very passively preflop and like to fold their BB a lot, I'm often raising like 80% when I'm in the SB (if he picks up a pattern of raising when I only complete, I will obviously limp more with good hands to counter that etc) while mostly only checking in the BB (while villain will often surrender his SB)

Consequences are:

I'm often taking his BB without a fight, while he has to win mine first
I'm playing small pots oop and bigger pots IP so the pots I win will generally be twice as big as the pots he wins.

When I get a "premium" hand like KJ or something like that I will still raise to 4-5 BB oop, expecting to mostly take it down preflop or if not at least have a decent edge.

If villain would always complete I would ofc throw in a few more raises to discourage it, but if he's giving up like 20% anyway, should I still be raising more than 10% or is my way of playing it fine?
