Was it right to check on the flop?
Or should i always go for an cont. bet?

Provided that villain did in fact push after your check, i like it. If you just folded by yourself... I think it's a bit weak.

Is it just me, or does it seem that 81% of the time you're holding wired Ks an ace appears on the flop?

If you cb, do you have the discipline to lay it down to a raise? After your pre-flop bet you have t630. A cb into this pot is going to have to be t200ish. Leaving you t430. You might feel pot committed at that point. But, with the blinds at t15 you are far from committed. So next time you get here, if you decide to cb it, make your second decision wisely.

I think I play this the way you did. Drop an f-bom on that Ace and check/fold to any legit bet. You'll have plenty of oportunities later.
