Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

thought a lot about calling here, but for that size, and thinking on which rivers I would call another bet, I decided to give up.
I'm ahead of draws and weaker KXs (maybe K9s to KTs?), but behind KQ, AK, AQ, QJ, QTs and a less probably Q9s.

SB wins 19.6 BB

Well played overall.
We should bet KJo without flush blockers more often, although I think checking is ok too. Size is ok.
This is an interesting spot OTT. In fact, SB should donkbet small here with most of his flop calling range (Kx, Qx, JTs/J9s/T9s (flushdraws), 99-55) and you should call most made hands for obvious reasons.
Against that size, it is a mix between calling and folding. You should for instance call more often with the K♣:.

Do you think that SB will know all this? Chances are less than 1% IMO. 24/8 even for 73 hands strongly suggests for weak player. Only God knows what hand such player can have. He can have QQ and he can have 72o and all between. With a hand that will rarely improve OTR I also prefer to fold, will be too expensive to call now and OTR, because I must call both streets, or fold now.
