Default K9o button steal - passive line vs BB 3bettor

Villain is 29/17 over small sample

PokerStars $5/$10 Limit Hold'em - 5 players
Hand Converter Tool from DeucesCracked.com

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG folds, CO folds, <font color="#FF0000">Hero raises</font>, SB folds, <font color="#FF0000">BB 3-bets</font>, Hero calls.

Flop: (6.40 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#FF0000">BB bets</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: (4.20 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#FF0000">BB bets</font>, Hero calls

In general, my standard line against an unknown in this spot is to put in one bet on each street. Good?

Against someone I have a history with, I might raise the flop and go from there.

Normally I want to raise either flop or turn. In this case raising turn would have the benefit of him thinking you might've picked up a FD and call down light. I don't know if you've got any read on his "call down range", I guess not since you didn't mention it...

I'd only raise this if I think I can trust him if he 3-bets. I have been just calling down in this spot lately. You're behind all K he raises and ahead of almost everything else. This seems WA/WB to me. If the J were a 3 I would raise on the turn.

I like passive lines against unknowns.

I wouldn't want to fold to a turn 3-bet, and a turn raise might fold a hand that he would fire the river with.

I like to establish a snug, passive image against the BB I'll be stealing from before I start pounding away marginal.
