I was hoping to get some opinions on my game here. It's a 30+3 Party PLO8 MTT with 210 entrants, paying 30 people. At this point there are 21 people left, so an average stack of 10,000, and I'm the chip leader with 21.5k, with the 2nd stack having around 18. For context, 5 or 10 hands ago, I had bet the pot preflop with a hand I don't recall, with only the Villian calling. He made a small bet on the flop, I came over the top for a little more than half of the pot, and he laid down.

What are the thoughts on this play? Specifically:
1. Was I too aggressive coming over the top with Kings and 2 low cards? A constant theme throughout the tournament (for me) was constantly playing to win, not to make the final table, but that may have made me overcompensate and be too aggressive. I didn't like the idea of making a small reraise in that spot, I felt it showed too much weakness behind a raiser.
2. I felt, when he came over the top all in, I was pot committed. Would people have layed it down there? Obviously he is representing aces, but you can't be sure of that, and I still have pot odds with room to spare assuming 100% aces. While it's a tourney and pot odds don't apply in a ring-game fashion, I also can't assume the aces (or is it 99% aces in this situation?).
I feel I have a good grasp on PLO8, I am by no means experienced, having played a limited amount of ring games and SNGs; I believe this way my first PLO8 MTT. I say this only to point out that the "don't risk your MTT on pot odds/coin flips since you are the best player" may not necessarily apply in full.
