I think I got too tricky on the turn here and forced people to call 2 bets instead of one. Should I of bet the turn? or checked then smooth called? Or did I do it right?

I would have led out on every round and hoped to get raised behind me from any live king. Then on the turn I'd 3 bet it if the button raised me, which he would have. I'd smooth call a raise on the flop though.

Whats the point of checking the flop in EP if you're not gonna CR and you have the nuts? I don't get it, give someone a chance to raise you.

I think I'd lead this turn hoping everyone would call and the button would raise so I could trap the 2 in between for extra bets.

I think check/calling the flop is okay (maybe someone can pick up a draw with the next card), but I like Tosh's advice for the turn.

You should lead that flop. Remember all those times you wanted to protect your AA and everyone called on the flop because it was only 1 SB and some dude hit his miracle gutshot? Now that's working to your advantage and you've got a nearly invulnerable hand. Plus, leading into a pot like that stinks of a bluff to a table of LL skeptics. No one will give you credit. Hope for a raise and call/raise as is your pleasure and read of the calling station-itis of the table. Repeat on the turn.

Checkraising the turn was terrible. Everyone has, at best, a weak hand on a scary board and they're much less likely to call 2 given your huge show of strength after laying low on the flop. You announced your hand and made it expensive to call. Sometimes playing straightforwardly is the most deceptive and most profitable play.
