Default passive overpair

3/6 3-handed against decent opponents, one(SB) who's slightly tilty and laggy.

Button raises, SB cold calls, I 3-bet QQ out of the BB. Both call.

Flop comes 886
SB checks, I bet, both call.

Turn: 2, suits irrelevant
SB checks, I check, button bets, sb calls, I call

River: K
checked to the button who bets, sb folds, I call(would've overcalled as well).

I know this goes against the ssh grain, but when people smooth call paired flops in a multiway pot, alot of the time it is trips waiting to pop the turn,which I wouldn't be thrilled about since it is usually the trips but could be the other pair or something so I would call down. Also, checking gives people the opportunity to bluff when they might be drawing dead.
