when you get a stronger self image and table image, a raise here is the right call.  about 4x BB.  From the SB, a Raise should almost always be respected...especially if you've shown down a few winners that weren't suck outs.

I would like to point out that KT, QT, and QJ aren't that great played from the small blind.  Even if you hit a pair (say Tens) you're out of position, and anyone playing position will almost always raise you out of the pot.  You can't feel good about flopping a pair of Kings on a board like KQrag if you have KT since most people playing Kings are going to play KJ or better.  (I rarely play KT or worse unless they're suited, and only then if its a free card from the BB or a cheap flop from late position).  I will almost always FOLD these hands if the pot is even minimum raised, and with KT or QT i almost always limp hope to hit a flush or flush draw with a pair.  If i don't hit i check and fold.  QJs i will raise with almost always from any position, but i LOVE suited connectors, so... you know.  A bit off topic, I applogize.

I guess i'm trying to say it depends on the situation... Try and build a strong  tight/aggressive table image...if you do that, you'll win the pots more often than not.  But you will NOT build that image if you go like this:

Preflop raise 
flop bet
turn check...

if you are pushing the pot, you have to keep at it.
