Donk or plain bad luck?

I posted this hand in the "Semi-official" thread for todays WCOOP $200 PLHE 6-handed tournament, but it kinda drowned in the celebrations.

Since I frequently get myself into trouble with this type of confrontation (and I'm currently on the losing streak of my life) I'd be very obliged if someone would comment on the soundness of my play here.

We're approximately 10 minutes from first break (30 minute rounds), and everyone at my table excluding your truly and the guy to my immediate left (not complaining) has been wild and crazy. Preflop raising standards any two suited, any K, regardless of position.

After the flop it's been much more civilized, and nobody's been all-in so far. I have TAG'ed my stack up to 3,500 from the starting 2,500, and I have villain covered with close to 900 chips.

I'd lose all my chips on that flop every time.

not sure what that means.

Open with 150 bet on the flop. If raised, just call.

As played, just call the re-raise.

The only hands you are behind is a flopped set - QQ/JJ. You're a coinflip against KK and ahead of everything else.

I usually re-raise from the BB with that type of hand (fold to a push). After that they usually stop trying to steal your blinds. On that flop, however, I would be more than willing to get all my chips in and thank whoever for the opportunity.
