$2 NL HE 6-max: Was it wrong to call pre-flop here ?

I wasn't sure rather to make the call or not since I'm genuinely ignorant and am not good yet with knowing what cards to call with with that approximative raise size so I went with my intuition

of course it's a bad call preflop, there's no call in SB strategy in this spot.

He's not in the SB, he's the BB.

Yes, call with KQ but don't then just allow yourself to be swatted away like a fly to any 1/3 pot C-bet, you're playing poker, not Bingo. You have alot of Ax in your calling range and he has alot of smaller pairs and suited broadways, connectors etc. in his. Click the call button and if he fires again on the Turn you can safely fold, If not you can lead the river for Pot and maybe fold out 88-KK.
