I wish I knew what I was doing
 

In an earlier hand with villian, I just called a raise with KK PF (thought BB would squeeze) and then called a cbet on an A high flop, checked behind the turn when he checked to me, and then put in a small river bet when he checked to me again, he checkraised me and I called and he had nothing.

Right after I shoved I thought to myself "wtf am I doing??" because I think its a bad play, but the limit player in me still cant bear the thought of folding an overpair to a flop checkraise.

so anyway, is my play bad? if it is, how bad is it? And what should I have done?

You're not exceptionally deep, so this qualifies under:

[x] Not folding KK in RR pot on non-ace flop

...although I think you should RR more preflop, a pot-sized raise is to $42 so I'd go that size.

sweet, I didn't know this rule

I've got an obvious lack of experience here, but are people checkraising AJ or 99 in 3 bet pots here?

say we were both 250bb deep, what would an appropriate response be?

check behind flop

Call the c/r and probably fold to a huge turn bet but otherwise prob check turn/vb riv or call riv bet.

how much can we pot control? villain has 240 left in a 420 pot.

Nah
I can see him semibluffing QK, AK, or overplaying hands like AJ and QQ. I rather bet to induce.

edit: though this is might not apply to you since my image is really crap

I was answering his question of "what do we do if we're deep?" Obv, we aren't folding here.
