why are you going allin? To pay the dude with the king? The all in bet is to prevent a draw, either someone has made it or they haven't and a smaller bet would find you out just that. IMO this is a donk bet. People love to slow play so perhaps a 300 bet would do and if you get called then c/f or check away. 1350 chips now and alive is probably worth more than 2350 now and a good chance of being dead.

I figured a good bet would pretty much commit me.
Is 300 enough?
Would you lay it down to a shove? Even with two Kings on board, which makes it less likely somone has one.

I think a shove isn't bad here, opponents will call with any pocket pair too. You're at least betting like 600 on the flop, so I would just shove it in. Overbet looks more like a bluff.
