Default (NLCASH) KK on monotone boardl

I'm no HU player, but I start all my tables by sitting down at an empty one, so I have to play HU for a couple of hands at the start. This was the second hand against this guy. The first hand he limped in the SB and folded when I raised to $2 on the button. (reverse blinds HU on party)

Party Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.25/$0.50 Blinds - 2 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

Hero (BB): $50.25
SB: $33.73

Preflop: Hero is dealt K K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero raises to $2.00</font>, SB calls $1.50

Flop: ($4) 5 2 T (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $3.50</font>, SB calls $3.50

Turn: ($11) 3 (2 Players)
Hero checks, SB checks

River: ($11) A (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $7.50</font>, <font color="red">SB raises all-in to $28.23</font>, Hero folds

Pot Size: $46.73

Thoughts? Do anything differently?

Maybe this is a situation where I end up donking off money when I shouldn't, but I don't think there's any way I'm folding the second nut flush when getting better than 2-to-1, at least not without a monster read and a whole lot of history indicating this particular villan couldn't be making this move with anything other than the ace or the straight flush.

Would villain shove the Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] for value here? Or would he shove anything else as a bluff?

I would have bet the turn to build the pot, and in the process, get more information. As played, though, on the first hand against unknown opponent, I am calling that shove. Folding the 3rd-nuts for roughly a pot-size raise in that spot is too tight/exploitable, especially at micro stakes.

i think it kind of depends on how accustomed your opponent is to heads up play. in a normal HU cash game, turn gets bet and shove gets called. hard to say how big a hand villain needs to feel like he's got a big hand here though.

Bet the turn... call the river. You cant fold 3rd nuts in a micro stakes hu.
