Default Slow playing strong TPTK on flop

Party Poker 0.50/1.00 Hold'em <font color="#0000FF">(10 handed)</font> link

No reads, usual crappy party players

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, BB calls.

no brainer raise

Flop: (4.50 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero calls.

flop comes K rag rag, giving me top pair top kicker. Playing heads up, I'm not worried about the flush draw (I even have redraw to second nut flush). He bets into me, which often signifies strength, and in this case I put him on a a pair of kings - but a worse kicker than mine. I choose to just call and raise him on turn no matter what card comes up. What are your thoughts on this type of play. With a dangerous board I wouldn't do this, but what about a rather ragged board like this?

Turn: (3.25 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, Hero calls.

Anyone think I can call the reraise here? I'm most likely beaten but my hand is strong so I decide to call down.

River: (9.25 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
