Warning! Strongly overplayed KK!

Warning! The content below may be offensive to some viewers! I really slaughtered this hand. I don't wanna be someone who overplays his big pocket pairs! [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Please tell me when, where and how to get away from a situation like this! Is there a better way to find out that Villain has me beaten than by putting half my stack into the middle?

No hand history available so I'll try to reconstruct the hand from my mind.

First hand I sit down at a Party 50 NL 6-max table, so obviously no read on players. I sit down with $50.

Blinds $0.25/$0.50. I get K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the BB. UTG limps, button limps, I raise to $3. UTG calls, button folds.

Flop: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (Pot $6.75)

I bet $6. UTG raises to $12. Hmmm... I reraise to $24. UTG reraises again to $36. At this point I'm almost sure he has at least trip eights, but still some unknown force makes me put the rest of my stack into the middle. Of course, UTG calls and shows up A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] for the trips. My 2-outer doesn't hit... Tilt!

How did I end up here and where was my first mistake that put me in this situation?

EDIT: No, there weren't two 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in the deck so I changed the flop eight to a diamond. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
