KK: raise more on flop?

I don't understand the flop raise. Are you dumping it if an A, 3 or spade hits? It would appear you are committed with this raise.

The chips in the middle represent almost half your stack, and there are a lot of cards you don't want to see on the turn. I don't love the spot I'm in, but I think I push here because to charge the draws enough to make them incorrect to call I will committ myself, so I might as well charge them full price.

I looked at the UTG's bet as totally meaningless. Purely a donkey blocking bet. Basically, it told me next to nothing about what he had. And of course, the only other information I had is that the SB had checked and the pot was four handed.

So, I ignored the UTG's bet and proceeded as if it were checked to me. I'm not saying that this was correct, only that this was my thinking. So, if there had been two checks to me, would I push this flop? I don't think so.

Obviously, the reason I posted the hand, though, is because I'm not sure if I played it correctly.
