Hand that busted me out - Did I Play This Right?

[DanTheCardMan]

My 4th ever multi-table (5+1), first time in the money, I finished 49th out of 1472. I played VERY well, if I may say so. I allowed one over-riding principle guide my decisions: the size of the pot. Because of a huge pot early in the tourney I called bets from 2 preflop raisers (both of whom I was reading as fish who would raise with any ace) with 98s from the BB when the flop came K86r. Ended up they both had weak aces and I took the pot(~T4000) which more than doubled my stack.

I feel like most of the decisions I made were right. The only egregious mistake I made is when I was T9000, it was folded to me on the button holding 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], I raised to steal and was re-raised by T1900 all-in. I called and he had 88. Flop didn't help and I went down to T7000.

Anyway, the hand that busted me out:

Blinds are 1500/3000. Folded to T65000 (solid player) in MP+2 and he calls. I'm ~T24000 in the CO with AKo and make it 6000 to go. He calls. Flop comes Kxx where the xx were clubs. MP+2 bets T3000, which seeing his skill level I'd expect him to be betting on the come. I raise to T6000 and he calls again. I'm pretty sure he's on a flush draw, althogh 2pr isn't out of my mind either. Turn card is a blank. He bets 3000 and I decide he's definitely on the flush draw my Kings are good. I go all-in. River is a club and he shows J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] to take the pot.

The only real question I have is whether I should have tried to take the pot down on the flop or whether the raise to T6000 on the flop was good. Like I said, until he called me on the flop, I hadn't fully put 2pr out of my head. I'm not really fretting this decision, as I was right and I got my money and his into the pot when I had the best of it. I'm just wondering if I'd gone all-in on the flop if he'd have folded. We'll never know.
