 The table has been fairly passive, so I raised UTG with KQs.

Opp is a bit of a calltard ... 24/13/2.5 over 50 hands. We have won several hands against him including one where he min-raised the turn or river with TP and a worse kicker.

Is calling the best option on the turn? What do should I do if opp bets on the river? How big of a bet do I call? If the turn is a blank, should I value bet in this spot?

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

CO ($12.54)
Button ($10.89)
SB ($10.15)
BB ($15.79)
Hero (UTG) ($12.93)
MP ($5.08)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q, K
Hero bets $0.30, 4 folds, BB calls $0.20

Flop: ($0.65) 5, 10, Q (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.42, BB calls $0.42

Turn: ($1.49) 2 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $1, BB raises to $2, Hero calls $1

River: ($5.49) 8 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

Total pot: $5.49 | Rake: $0.36

 IDK,
You have to go with your reads...If there is a good chance he reraises turn with worse then sure call.
After he checks river, I check as well, you dont want to get reraised or bluffed off and its only TPGK....

This is possibly why we dont raise UTG w/ KQ??
I confess in quicksand

 any reason you raised to .30 UTG. Theoretically your range should be at its strongest in this position and you are making it cheaper for BB to see a flop.

calling is fine here, he polarizes his range a ton on the turn with the c/mr. when he has a polarized range, betting makes no sense since 1) bluffs fold, and you beat bluffs anyway, 2) his value range pretty much crushes you, so it opens it up to a c/r which you have to fold, or he'll just call and you'll lose
