This one played oddly.
It was my second time in the SB at this table.

fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to $0.04, Hero calls $0.03, fold
There is no range for "resteal" from the SB.
However, using Equilab, I can see that this hand is ahead of even the PokerStrategy OpenRaising "tight" range from the button.
Since his raise was small, I thought that with a call I could see a flop cheaply.
FLOP ($0.10) Q♣ K♥ T♦
Hero checks, BTN bets $0.10, Hero raises to $0.33, BTN calls $0.23
I almost never check/raise (2% overall), but this seemed like an ideal spot to give it a try. I didn't want him to fold by donking, but I would have been happy to take it down here. His call surprised me, since I was expecting a fold -- no idea why I was expecting it, but I did.
TURN ($0.76) Q♣ K♥ T♦ 4♠
Hero bets $0.50, BTN raises to $1, Hero calls $0.02 (AI)
This looks weird, but I just clicked the "Raise" button, not noticing that I the slider hadn't reached the end.
RIVER ($1.80) Q♣ K♥ T♦ 4♠ 5♥
Spoiler
BTN shows 8♠ J♠
(Pre 32%, Flop 28.9%, Turn 18.2%)
Hero shows Q♠ K♠
(Pre 68%, Flop 71.1%, Turn 81.8%)
Hero wins $1.71
All in all I think I would have been better off 3Betting preflop, and CBetting post.
