I raise the flop planning to call down if 3-bet (possibly folding if an ace hits but not likely).

Without a read I don't give much credit at $1/2 until the betting makes it clear im beat. You should have a decent range raising the buitton, so SB pre 3-bet can have a range much gtreater than AA, AK or KK which are the main hands you need to be afraid of. I can't imagine anyone thinking calling down is a good play, I think you need to raise at some point to find out where you are at.

Raising for value, I would agree with.

I just thought that this guy either had me owned, or had little chance to improve but may keep betting hoping his hand is good. Classic WA/WB.

There aren't that many "instabet" 3-bets from SB that don't fall into TT ----> AA and AK / AQs. And as stated before there isn't a huge amount of value in raising, perhaps 1SB when we are ahead, and we lose a lot when behind.
