I think my post flop play is okay. Was calling the preflop raise a good idea though? I keep telling myself I have implied odds but I obviously got very lucky.

I'd fold preflop. Out of position with a potentially dominated holding.

Not a good way to start a hand

Folding this preflop would certainly be standard, but one of the strange things about your 0.01 / 0.02 game is how deep you are against some of the players. I really don't mind the call once MP3 is in, and knowing that UTG is likely to call as well.

I'd much rather have something like 67 or 98

If you flop a king you might get put into a tough situation

Keep it simple

Sure, I hear you.

Although I wouldn't regard flopping a king as a tough situation, I'd regard it as a check-fold situation on the flop.

Personally I'd probably fold it without a second thought. But then again that's because I'm not usually sitting 250 big blinds deep.

I think overcalling a PFR with a bunch of people in the pot with Ax or Kx suited is a fine play from the button, but not the blinds. The most likely flop you'll want to continue on is a flush draw, and flush draws are much much easier to play in position (especially the Kx variety when you aren't drawing to the nuts). I fold preflop. As played, get it in on the flop.

Alright thanks guys. Fixed Limit has made me too loose.
