should i have lost more (or less)?

Typical 2/4 game
In this hand, BB is 36/18 and SB is 20/7 (one of
the saner players at the table)

I think PF and flop are straight forward, but should
i have been more aggressive on the turn/river (and lost
more), or should i have been able to lose less?

BB has As Ah (three of a kind, aces).
Hero has Kh Kd (one pair, kings).
SB has Tc Td (three of a kind, tens).
Outcome: BB wins 13.50 BB.

I'd play it the same.

Pretty standard. Might think about 3-betting the turn.

Why 3-bet the turn?

SB actions so far are suspicious (calling two cold and the preflop cap, plus calling the raise on the flop), then check raising the turn.

They are trying to extract maximum bets here and calling down seems like a better way to go.

Unless you know SB is a LAG, that turn raise is very dangerous. I don't know whether he has a straight or two pair but it looks like his hand is better than yours. Is there enough evidence to dump it?

thanks for responses

i'm always looking for times to play more aggressively,
but didn't think this was it. I thought the only reasonable
hand for the turn C/R was a set, but thought i'd win
often enough to call down
