Final Pot: 9 BB

On the flop what do I do when raised? Is the 3bet good? What kicker is needed to 3bet? Villain wasn't overly aggressive or passive.

Turn was an easy bet, river was bet/fold. Hows my line?

I don't really have any experience at 1/2, but depending on post-flop reads on BB and UTG, I often raise this from the SB; and I often just complete (rarely I fold).

Post-flop seems fine; with a read on UTG I might say post-flop is no good. In other words, it strikes me as a hand that I would play based quite a bit on reads (pre and post), and against an unknown new to the table I am probably more likely to call the flop raise and see a showdown passively just to get a handle on the guy when I'm in a somewhat marginal situation.
